I'm new to using grub for booting my OS's. I recently bought a new HD, and
I've dedicated that one to Linux and left Windows 2000 on the old one. The
new HD is /dev/hda. I have a Zip100 on hdb, my dvd-rom on hdc, and my cd
burner on hdd. I have a ATA card installed that the old HD is attached to
(along with a couple of other HDs that aren't booted, but just used for
storage), and it winds up being /dev/hdg, with Windows on hdg1. I've
edited my /boot/grub/device.map file so that it looks like this:
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hda
(hd1) /dev/hdg
I thought that perhaps this would map correctly to the drive I want to boot.
Then my menu.lst file has this entry for Windows 2000
title Windows 2000
rootnoverify (hd1,1)
chainloader +1
But when I choose this at the bootup screen, I get "Error 25: Disk Read
Error". Is it possible to boot Windows from where it is? I'm mainly
trying to avoid having to reinstall it. I don't have to 3 hours to spare
right now to reinstall and reconfigure it so that it's back fairly close to
it's current state.
I've tried looking at various tutorials online, as well as the info page for
grub, but I've had no luck in getting this to work.
Thank you for any help that anyone can offer,
Jeremy
