This file is located at the following location : boot/grub/grub.conf. This is the complete path of the file... Make sure you know what you are editing else you may en up screwing your computer, and it won't boot... Which Operating system do you use? I think there is some othere file that needs to be edited to add or delete boot entries... But still All the best!

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and i want to add Windows XP to the start up. I installed Ubuntu on the other hard disk, fearing data loss. But now no option comes up to boot in to Windows. So i wanted to add its entry... Thanks...

Don't edit grub.conf to add entries. Instead edit menu.lst located in the grub folder. The full path is /boot/grub/menu.lst. To open you must be logged into root. Type in console :

sudo chown /boot/grub/menu.lst [to change this files owner]
sudo chmod +rwx /boot/grub/menu.lst [to get rights to edit this file]
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Add the entries and save the file...
