Is grub the problem, or XP? In other words is grub passing correctly to XP, but the XP boot process is failing? If you have installed XP onto the first disk, that is where it expects to find it. When you move it to the second disk, as far as XP is concerned, in its own boot.ini file, it still tries to boot the 1st disk. I forget the actual config in boot.ini, but a bit of trial and error should fix it... For example the following entries (out of boot.ini): [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect will boot the second partition off the first drive. (I believe disks count from 0 and partitions count from 1) This may fix your prob. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
