I really hope you can help. I have a Compaq Armada E500 laptop with two hard drives. Both are identical IBM 20 Gig Travelstar HDs. One is in the primary bay, one is in the mulitbay. I installed RedHat Linux 7.2 on the primary drive. Previously I had Windows XP installed on the drive in the multibay (which was originally done with the drive in the primary bay). The WXP drive was configured with a 4 Gig Primary partition and the rest as a secondary partition (drives C: and E:). The Linux drive was partitioned with 3 partitions. One for /boot, one for / and one for swap.
On to my problem. I was trying to get GRUB to boot the WXP on the second drive by trying various things suggested in the Documentation. One of the things I tried was this: Map (hd0) (hd1) Map (hd1) (hd0) Rootnoverify (hd0,0) Chainloader +1 Boot Well that didn't work. I also tried various 'hide' command options. However, when I tried to put my second HD in the primary slot to boot back to XP, I found that the drive was no longer recognized. When I take a look at the partition table using FDISK I see the exact same partition table on each drive now. Almost like the Linux partition table was overwritten onto the WXP disk. Any chance you can help me recover this? I tried to 'unhide' all partitions, but didn't seem to do anything.
