I intendet to do some more reading and thinking and fiddling on the whole thing, before bothering you.... Anyway. I guess that I don't clearly understand partioning. ( A second after I opened the Linux-Partiton-Howto my draft was sent to you....) With the described partitioning, grub seems not to be able to find the grub-boot-files in /boot/grub which stays within / -Partition on hda7. The Linux-Boot-Partition was logical - this should be no problem - but in this case was attached to a first FAT32-Partition ( hda5 ). May this configuartion is not possible to boot for grub ? ( grub-numbering ............. size in MB .......... device-numbering ) 0) Hibernation = Hidden Win95 FAT32 ( LBA ) .... 550 ... hda1 = prim 1) BOOT: Win2000 = Hidden FAT16 ........................... 50 ... hda2 = prim 2) Exchange = Win95 FAT32 (LBA) .................... 500 ... hda5 = log1 Linux = ext2: 4) home ....................................... 500 ... hda6 = log2 5) / (inkl. /boot ) ........................ 3000 ... hda7 = log3 6) var .......................................... 500 ... hda8 = log4 7) tmp .......................................... 500 ... hda9 = log5 8) swap_linux .............................. 500 ... hda10 = log6 9) free ....................................... 1500 ... hda11 = log7 Win2000 C:\ 3) Win2000 ..........NTFS ............. 4450 ... hda3 = prim3 ( inclusive win-swap ) I still don't know if grub numbers the physically sequence or the devices in line. So hda11 for grub is Partition no. 2 or no 3 ? ( Sure I should find it out by myself, however now hurrying with a follow-up to my first premature request....) Next I will try without a special /boot-Partition for Win2000, changing the partitioning to that: 0) Hibernation = Hidden Win95 FAT32 ( LBA ) .... 550 ... hda1 = prim1 1) EXCHANGE = Win95 FAT32 (LBA) .... 500 .... hda3 = prim2 Linux-ext2: 3) home = linux ext2 ........................... 550 ... hda5 = log1 5) / (inkl. /boot ) ............................... 3000 ... hda6 = log2 6) var ................................................. 500 ... hda7 = log3 7) tmp ................................................. 500 ... hda8 = log4 8) swap_linux .................................... 500 ... hda9 = log5 9) free ............................................. 1500 ... hda10 = log6 2) Win2000 = NTFS ......................... 4450 ... hda2 = prim3 Sorry for the confusion....i work with permanent interruption on that, rarely find more than a few ten Minutes at once the last weeks....the problem is that i'm not a computer ;-) -- Michl. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
