I installed window 2000 server on primary master(60GB) and redhat linux 8 on primary slave(13GB). I have installed GRUB as the boot loader. However, when I start the computer, the GUI for GRUB only shows redhat linux. I can not boot my window 2000 now. Please let me know if you have any idea of how to fix the problem. Thank you!

I have almost the same setup : win xp on one drive and linux 8.0 on the other.
I have both drives set up for cable select as opposed to master/slave (I don't know if it matters)
But I had to edit my "/etc/lilo.conf" file:

prompt
timeout=50
default=Linux
boot/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14
label=Linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
read-only
append="hdd=ide=scsi root=LABEL=/"

other = /dev/hdb1
label = Windows
table = /dev/hdb
map-drive = 0x80
to - 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x81


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basically you only need to add everything from "other =" on.
( my hda is linux and hdb is windows, yours my be the other way around)
Check your hardware browser, and check hard drives to find out what hard drive is what! (I use KDE so my hardware browser is under System Tools). Hope this helps!

Ooops! Sorry, forgot you were using GRUB, I use LILO

I got a simmilar set up on my system 60gb master on primary IDE with CDRW set to Cable select and a 10gb master on the secodary IDE using grub whith no issues at all you could try your setup that way It works for me!
let me know if it works for you as us newbies gotta stick together there's safety in numbers LOL

Try adding something like this to your Grub config file:
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive

Note that in grub hdo equals hda in linux, hd1,1 equals hdb,1 etc.

1 Problem with that annehoog.... hes on win2000 not win xp
thats the code to unhide the flag for win xp....


What i would say to do personally is reinstall Red Hat and change it from a GRUB boot loader to a LILO boot loader.

quote from moije above:
"map-drive = 0x80
to - 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x81"

could someone explain what is meant by the hex and why the 'map-drive' is repeated twice but with different values please?

The last line of my /etc/lilo.conf file should be "to = 0x80" not "to = 81" (sorry)
I don't know what it means, only that it works. I am very new to linux!!

HEX is short for HEXADECIMAL

I have solved the problem by adding to /etc/grub.config the following lines

title window 2000
rootnoverify hd(0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Thank you for your help
