dualboot two harddrives linux/XP problem loading XP
Hello everyone,
I have RH9 installed on a 80GB disk as primary master. Recently I added another 80Gb WinXP disk as primary slave, but im having problems booting it.
I've read most of the forums I could find on the subject but they mostly deal with OSs being on different partitions on the same drive. Anyhow,
in my grub.conf for the windows part I've added:
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
*note* , if I use (root) instead of (rootnoverify) I get the following message: [Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7], otherwise it just doesnt boot or give any messages.
I tried the map command on grub [map (hd1) (hd0) , map (hd0) (hd1) ] and I've also tried changing the BIOS setting from AUTO detection to LBA on both drives, nothing worked.
If I disconnect the linux drive and have only the WinXP drive, XP loads normaly... so no problem there.
Have I missed something ? any help or ideas greaty appreciated!
Thanks
Alex.
