I have a hardrive with windows XP. On another Hardrive I have
Redhat9.
While installing redhat9, I had disconnected my third drive to save it
from accidentally getting format ( this makes it pretty clear that I'm
a newbie).
Anyways, When I connected this drive, thegrub boot loader just doesn't
show me any options of OSs to choose from?
Could somebody tell me how to I modify my /boot/grub/grub.conf to make
it all work again.
PS1:The windows HDD is my primary master, the Redhat9 is secondary
slave and the Third one is the primary Slave.

PS2: In root(hdd1,4) , does hdd1 mean the 2nd hardisk and 4 mean the
fourth partition in the system?
