New user here. Have read the docs (what I could see that is applicable anyway).
I can't seem to get to grips with a multi-boot setup when installing the 3rd OS. The OS Selector appeared to be okay, but upon rebooting it said something along the lines of "OS selector cannot find requried config files" and then powered off the pc. The rescue media CD did not help, I had to use the Mandriva CD to re-create the boot loader. I was then able to re-format the partition that the OS selector was installed to, and re-install and activate it. However it could find NO usable OS! Even though I had booted into WinXP!
This has confused the blast out of me. I have tried a few different times now with different results. Is there a detailed reference guide to installing a multi-boot setup from scratch?
