Windows was installed as the master drive.
Due to issues with Fedora C2T1 installer - I wanted to easily detach the
windows drive whenever installing a linux distro. To facilitate that - I
made the XP drive be the slave - and use a boot loader on a floppy
called "gag" to boot windows, as it can switch the drive letters so the
XP thinks it is still on C:\ and doesn't have a heart attack.
That works - but I'd rather not have to insert a floppy every time I
want to boot windows, I'd rather do it from grub.
I tried adding the following to grub - which I thought would work
(switching drive letters) based upon the documentation - but it doesn't
seem to:
title Windows XP
map (hd0)(hd1)
map (hd1)(hd0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
Anyone know why?
Shout the rootnoverify line refer to (hd1,0) even though I already
have used map to switch them?
