Grub booting Win
I had a drive that had Win2k installed in the first partition
when it was the first IDE drive.
I had to move that drive to another slot in the IDE scheme, but
figured Grub could still boot it; (I have another Win2k now
installed on the first IDE drive.) So I did the grub menu like
this:
title Windows 2000
unhide (hd0,0)
hide (hd1,0)
rootnoverfy (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
title Windows 2000 on Bay Drive
hide (hd0,0)
unhide (hd1,0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
But when I choose the "Win2k on the Bay Drive", I still get
the Win2k on the first drive. (I'm suspecting there's
something in the boot sector of the partition that still
says to boot the first IDE drive.) What's the best fix?
