 |
|
Recenly I put out the xp hard drive to another computer & fixed its mbr on the new computer with the xp tool.
Yesterday I put it back & replace between the primary & slave hard disks. Now, my Gentoo is on hda & my xp is on my hdb (it was inverted till I did all that).
I change my grub accordingly & Gentoo works fine, but the xp stop work. When I press on my XP in the grub menu the next output is shown up: | Code: | booting: Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1 |
here is my full grub.conf

Windows does not like to be on hdb. You have to fool it to think it is on the primary hard drive. Check out the map command in grub.

That is what should go into your grub.conf as an entry.

Windows XP works fine on the second, third or fourth drive. His problem is that he fixed the mbr when it was in another machine. Put back in the first machine the original mbr is used and not the one he just "fixed".
