 |
|
Okay, I think this problem was truely discussed a lot of times ^^
but mine is a little diffrent, I think...
My Primary Disk on my Mobo Controller is boot disk in my BIOS. It contains:
hda1 /boot
hda2 /swap
hda3 /
I have an Raid Array 0 on an Highpoint Controller with Installed Windows XP
my config is just like the manual
linux boots fine.
But Win does not boot.
My config about win says:
root (hd1,0)
chainloader (hd1,0)+1
He finds a filesystem type unknown, i guess NTFS ^^ on root (hd1,0)
but the screen freezes after the chainloader command.
I have tried diffrent variations about the Win boot commands I found in the forum, but didn't help 
I'm getting worried about that problem
When I Install Grub on my Raid Array, and boot by BIOS from it, it freezes at grub startup with
Grub loading stage 1.5....
Grub loading....
or something, i can't remember... too late ^^
pls help me out ... I'm tired of testing .... |

Windows expects to be on the boot drive. If it is not, you can trick the Windows bootloader like this :
| Code: | title Windows
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader (hd1,0)+1 |

Usually the Highpoint BIOS will say your array is broken (ouch!)
If you want to install GRUB on a drive (or array) attached to your Highpoint controller, you need to delete GRUB's stage1_5 files before you install GRUB to the harddrive. Search the forums for highpoint and grub if you want more details on this workaround. |
