hello, any dual boot geeks here?
when i add hda (with linux) where before there was only sda (with XP),
can i somehow still boot XP on that sda?
so far i can only make XP boot by removing hda again. (an idea i
haven 't tried yet is to copy XP onto an hda partition, tho i 'd rather
leave it on sda if possible.)
here 's the grub entries i 've tried (no joy):
title _XP sda2 (hd1,1)
hide (hd0,3)
unhide (hd1,1)
rootnoverify (hd1,1)
makeactive
chainloader --force +1
pause pausing..
title _XP map swap
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader --force +1
pause pausing..
title _XP sda2 (hd2,1)
rootnoverify (hd2,1)
chainloader +1
makeactive
title _XP sda2 (hd7,1)
rootnoverify (hd7,1)
chainloader +1
title _XP sda2 (hd8,1)
rootnoverify (hd8,1)
chainloader +1
title _XP sda2 (hd9,1)
rootnoverify (hd9,1)
chainloader +1
(the hda partition i 'm hiding contains win2k.)
trying the first above, after proceeding from the pause, it hangs.
trying the second, after proceeding from the pause, grub prints "Loading
Stage2 ", if i read correctly in the split second before it clears the
screen, then offers me a useless grub prompt. i deduce it crashes and
winds up in the grub bootstrap again.
(hd2) through (hd7) give:
Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
(hd8) and (hd9) give:
Error 12: Invalid device requested
btw while hda is installed i get the disk error in the boot sequence
below (no such with only sda in there) tho hda boots into linux just
fine. i do wish i could stop it from waiting for me to hit F1.
