yes. Well actually, it was the master originally, but I chose to make it slave because it had a defective MBR which wouldn't accept lilo. This was yesterday. Knoppix is now installed on the master drive
But just now I added the primary slave under the bios (duh, lol,) and it STILL doesn't work. Now it just hangs at 'Loading WindowsXP', though the error is gone so I guess thats a good sign.
I've tried both with the 'table' entry and without. Any ideas as to how I could get windows to load?
Just out of curiosity, are there any dangers associated with using those parameters, ie- does it affect how windows runs the whole time, or just how it starts up?
...are there any dangers associated with using those parameters...
The map-drive option tells Windows that the Primary Slave is the Primary Master and Vise Verse.
When I used this with an XP preview version my only concern was making sure Windows did not automatically try to scan, fix or defrag my Linux partitions.
The map-drive option worked fine the whole 6 months I had it running.
You should notice that Windows thinks it is on C:
