 Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2005 7:06 pm Post subject: grub problem |
 |
|
I have 2 hdd's, 1 gentoo linux(hda)/1 winxp pro(hdb). I want to dualboot but can only run Gentoo from grub. The discs are identical (maxtor 80gb, 7200rpm)& winxp runs perfectly when I disconnect my linuxdrive so it's not a hardware problem. I did the tutorial step-by-step but I still can't get my winxpdrive to boot.
here's a copy of my grub:
---------------------------------------------------------
default 0
timeout 30
title=Gentoo 2.6.11
root hd(0,0)
kernel hd(0,0)/bzImage-2.6.11 root =/dev/hda4
title=Windows XP
root hd(1,0)
chainloader hd(1,0)+1
----------------------------------------------------------
thanx in advance
desperate  greetings deejdriemer |

root hd(0,0)
kernel hd(0,0)/bzImage-2.6.11 root =/dev/hda4
title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1 |
You might want to check the jumpers as well. |

I tried, but I still get the following error, like I did before:[/i]
| Quote: |
booting Windows XP
Filesystem type unknown, Partition type 0x7
makeactive
chainloader +1 |
even when I removed the jumper from my slave drive(hdb with winxp), so it'll be set slave by default. |

I solved the problem   by mapping my hdb (winxp)
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 30
title=Gentoo 2.6.11
root hd(0,0)
kernel hd(0,0)/bzImage-2.6.11 root =/dev/hda4
title=Windows XP
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader +1
