Hi,
I had Windows 2000 installed on my notebook computer. I recently shrunk
my NTFS partition and installed Ubuntu, which left my drive partitioned
as follows:
/dev/hda1 * NTFS (Windows 2000)
/dev/hda2 Linux
/dev/hda3 Extended
/dev/hda5 Linux swap
Ubuntu installed grub as a boot loader, which used chainloading to load
the Windows 2000 boot loader when selected. Originally (i.e., the first
time or two), this worked fine.
However, now when grub loads the message I see is "Grub loading
Stage1.5". I do not see *any* further output. I'm guessing that this
means that grub failed to load stage 1.5. Since stage 1.5 is supposed
to be right after the MBR, I'm thinking that perhaps something in
Windows is not playing nicely and is overwriting it stage 1.5 ?
If I boot from a CD and run `grub-install /dev/hda`, all is well. At
least, until the next time I try to boot after running Windows for
a while...
Is there a recommended way to deal with this situation? Other than
erasing Windows, of course. :-)
Thanks in advance for your help. FYI, I'm not subscribed to the mailing
list, though I did try searching the archive, Wiki, Google, etc.
-- Bob
