RH9, Win2K Server, and GRUB


I'm trying to dual boot Windows 2000 Server with Redhat 9, and here's the situation. On one hard drive (hda) i have redhat installed, which is working fine. On another hard drive (hdb) i have windows 2k server installed, which is working fine (I unhook the RH hard drive and it boots fine). I'm looking for what to put in my grub.conf file to get windows to work... Here's what i have so far, and the linux entry works just fine (i'm typing in it right now):

default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img


title Windows 2000 Server
root (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1


I have tried a whole lot of different combinations, i've been searching on Google for the last hour, finding nothing that works.

Do i need to add something to my /etc/fstab for my windows partition?

Windows is installed on an NTFS partition on the 2nd hard drive, its the only partition on that drive.

I'm also quite a newbie in linux so go easy on me :-)

You might be having trouble because Windows usually wants to be the first partition on the first drive. Did you have the RedHat hard-drive in the computer when you installed Windows?

No I actually didn't... i think what i'm going to do is erase all partitions, install Windows 2000 server on one hard drive, then install Redhat on the other, so Grub can fix itself so i don't have to.

I was thinkin it might have something to do with that... just wasn't positive.

Thanks for the help!
