Why not go Seamless with a VM? That works great for me. That way you
can forget about the dual boot. Just set the VM to run on startup and
you can access any Windows program from within Gentoo. Works great,
speed is just as fast as when booting to XP.

Not for me. Same problem: grub can get the HDs
straight. I quit.
Not a great biggee; I only use XP for one proprietary
program that has yet to be linux-fied. I'll just tell
the BIOS to boot from that

Both drives are bootable provided I make a detour to

Hm, yeah, that's why I generally distrust running grub from within an

Grub can perfectly from a floppy disk. See info
grub (the full grub
documentation, the man page is crap) in order to
learn how to create a
grub floppy disk (or CD/R(W)). You will then be able
to set the BIOS
boot order to default and see what a freshly booted

I came to this late and missed most of the thread so apologies if this
has been covered.
Did you mount /proc into /mnt/gentoo before chroot'ing? (see install
docs) This allows grub to correctly sense the drive map for writing
the boot sectors.
Some early MB's changed the drive map depending on

I am not sure if you have tried this or not, but
when you map one drive to
another {say: map (hd0) (hd1)}, you also need to map
the second drive to the
first, instead of leaving it hanging. So, the
complete entry becomes:
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
If this doesn't work you may

My guess is that you have incompatible jumper
settings on the back of the
drives. Check these and make sure that they reflect
what the BIOS sees.
Also, check your /boot/grub/device.map for
consistency. Then use tab
completion from the grub prompt to find devices and

In your grub.conf, you say the root is on (hd0,0)
but then remap (hd1)
as (hd0). Whereas the root partition for windows
boot in my case is
the first hard drive listed after 'map', yours is
the second I suggest
you reverse this.
As I stated before, I've tried all the possibilities.

I don't mean to discount your reply but I am worried I expressed myself
