 |
|
Hello,
I have gentoo all up and running perfectly thanks to the help of these boards and chatrooms, except one minor thing.
I have linux on my primary PATA HD. Windows is on my SATA drive.
Lilo and Grub seem to have problems with this. Linux will load fine, but windows will not.
Is there any way to fix this?
In grub I have tried a few things, including the normal"
| Code: | root (hd1,0)
chainloader +1 |
but that didnt work.
In lilo I tried using hde1 and sda1 (both have been aliases for my SATA drive before.) and neither worked.
Any input?
Thank you

for booting my windows installation, i have the following in my grub.conf:
title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
this is from the grub.conf.sample file.
it's been quite some time, but i also remember reading somewhere that windows tends to bellyache if it's not installed in hda1. could be wrong, but i haven't put windows anywhere else. maybe someone can correct me if this info is not correct. |

Normally, Windows will only boot from the first harddrive. You can use GRUB's map command to trick the Windows bootloader like this.
| Code: | title Windows
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader (hd1,0)+1 |
