Okay, here goes...
I have 2 hard drives set out like this -
hda1 Linux
hda2 Windows XP
hda3 Backups
hdb1 Windows XP
hdb2 backups
I have been using grub to dual boot between linux on hda1 and Windows on hdb1, the Windows on hda2 was not used.
I've now decided I want to use that Windows on hda2 for experimental purposes but I'm having a little trouble booting it from grub.
If I select the option from the grub menu I get an invalid system disk error - press any key. When I press any key it does boot as normal but I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me how to get around the error.
I can also boot into it by editing the boot.ini on the hdb1 windows but I would rather boot straight into it from grub.
Now, the fact that it is getting past grub and getting to the system disk error suggests to me that it isn't a problem with grub but I'm not sure. Just in case, here is my menu.lst -
Code:
default 0
timeout 10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Windows XP (hdb1)
root (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader +1
title Ubuntu
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash vga=792
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386
savedefault
boot
title Windows XP (hda2)
root (hd0,1)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
Can anyone shed any light?
