NTLDR missing during grub run when ubuntu 8.4 is in disk0 and win 2003 is in disk1
 
UBUNTU 8.04 help needed urgently!!!

1) Getting NTLDR missing (for Win 2003 grub listing) during grub run when ubuntu 8.4 is in disk0 and win 2003 is in disk1

Following is the /boot/grub/menu.lst extract:
title Ubuntu 8.04.1 kernel 2.6.24-21-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz=2.6.24.21-generic root=UUID=bf5388e0-3666b-4c96-9826-8192aa519618 ro quiet splash
initrd ./boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-generic
quiet

title Windows Server 2003
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
root (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive

2) Also, I offloaded /home directory to another partition (from the main UBUNTU partition 1 on Disk1), modified /etc/fstab and added '/dev/sda2 /home ext3 nodev, nosuid 0 2', but still get the .dmrc error! /home does not get mounted and I cannot access /home/[usr] space...

Don't you want something like this with rootnoverify?
Code:
title                Windows Server 2003
rootnoverify        (hd1,0)
map                (hd0) (hd1)
map                (hd1) (hd0)
makeactive
chainloader        +1

I noticed Saikee puts "boot" in his example #C2

many tks. shall work on the win2003 partition problem. can anyone throw some light on the /home/.dmrc problem on why it is not mounting /home when it is moved from /dev/sda1 (1st partition, disk 0) to /dev/sda2 (2nd partition, disk 0)? txs in advance ..

Below are my notes/steps for moving home away from the / partition to it's own. Maybe it will shed some light, step #5 takes care of all links which is where I'm guessing things went wrong.
Code:
As root or sudo in single user mode:
1: #mkdir /mnt/newhome
2: #fdisk -l  (to find device name of partition)
3: #mount -t ext3 /dev/???? /mnt/newhome (replace check marks in /dev/xxxx as per output of fdisk -l command)
4: #cd /home
5: #cp -ax * /mnt/newhome
6: #cd /
7: #rm -fr /home
8: #umount /mnt/newhome
9: #mv /mnt/newhome /home
10: #vim /etc/fstab (edit /etc/fstab with favorite editor if not vim, and add line below with proper /dev/xxxx)
11: /dev/???? /home ext3 defaults 1 2
12: re-boot
