Hi,

After partitioning my hda :

/dev/hda1 1 45772 23069056+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 45773 59560 6949152 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 * 45773 59560 6949120+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

I copied a bootable w2k HD to hda5.
I also copied the boot record of this HD to hda5's boot record.

My grub MBR is placed on hdb, but when I point grub to boot from hda5 the computer stops (black screen - nothing happends).

Can I tweak this, or do I have to install w2k new (after changing my partition table so that the w2k partition is on the main partition) ?

Cheers,
Ron

since you don't mention that when your bios boots hda first, that you can truly get into hda5 I will leave it to you to reconcile why you partitioned it as fat32 when if you use 2000 you probably need it formatted as a ntfs?

2) ignoring that, if your bios points to hdb you need to amend your menu.lst. I am assuming your first screen says grub then you get a black screen?

3) if your hdb /boot/grub/device.map file has
(hd0) /dev/hda
(hd1) /dev/hdb

then your windows menu could be

title windows
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
hide (hd0,0)
hide (hd0,1) so the first bootable windows visible will be hda5
makeactive
chainloader +1

see my tutorial an explanations http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=237511
if your device map is reversed we will need to reverse the first hd number and add the map command
