Grub doesn't use the hda, hdb, etc. designation. It uses hd0, hd1, etc. (that hd zero, hd one, etc.).
So, hda=hd0 in grub's terminology. Try it again using /dev/hd0 instead of /dev/hda.

Mmmmm, I don't think so. You can use either even though the newer hd0 syntax is recommended.
How exactly is your partition table ?I don't think parted was given with RH7.2, but at the rescue mode, you can use parted to print your partition table.
Hi
I tried parted and then used the command 'check1' and got back that the freespace of hda1 equals 505700 not 505699 ..... seems like something might be up with the partition...... I read that the only way to fix this is to backup and then delete all the partions on my windows hdd (hda) and repartition...
I could just reinstall Redhat to hdb all over again but I think that's the easy way out.
