Fix Dual Boot
dual boot Ubuntu 32 bit with Windows XP Pro x64 Edition, on a single disk partitioned into 4 (with partitions for Windows, /home, Ubuntu and Swap). I wanted 64 bit so I could use all my RAM. Install of XP went smoothly, then I reinstalled GRUB to the MBR from the live CD using Code: sudo grub > find boot/grub/stage1 > root (hd0,2) > setup (hd0) Now I can boot into Ubuntu, but trying to boot into Windows XP 64bit leaves me with the following GRUB error message: Code: Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format Is this to do with something like a 32 bit version of GRUB not being able to run the XP x64 boot files? Would it help if I posted the content of my menu.lst file? (Oh, and in case you were wondering, I also plan to go 64 bit on Ubuntu as soon as I get the CD posted to me... Darn slow connection ) Anyway, help (in any form) would be greatly appreciated! Last edited by EcthelionGenesis; August 17th, 2008 at 03:44 PM.

Linux Ubuntu installation on the machine (as any Windows install will do). By the way - if you want to install Windows 7 on a free partition to dual https://emalliab.wordpress.com/2009/10/27/error-13-invalid-or-unsupported-executable-format/ boot, its possible, but I had to make the free partition ‘active' to make Windows recognise it as a ‘system' partition … but I digress. Anyway, I followed the instructions in this post - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 - to restore the boot loader (Grub) and get Linux booting again, but then had to add an entry to allow me to select the new Windows installation. Well, again I was able dual boot to use the usual way you get another non-Linux OS running within Grub, and there are loads of resources on the Internet to tell you how to do this. For me it was an entry like this in menu.lst: title Windows 7 rootnoverify (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader +1 But I was getting the error "Invalid or Unsupported Executable Format". After quite a bit of searching around, with lots of varied dual boot repair responses to this particular error, I just couldn't see what was wrong. Then, after staring at the grub configuration for quite a long time, eventually I realised that the rootnoverify command had no space between the rootnoverify and the brackets - i.e. "rootnoverify(hd0,1)" … after adding a space, as shown above, all was well. This post is just in case someone else has the same problem, and to remind them that before they start trying all the variants of grub commands and partition numbers that the Internet serves up in response to that error, do check the exact syntax of the menu.lst file first!
