Well its possible that Grub thinks sata drives are like scsi drives. In which case you could try something like this:
default=0 timeout=10 title Windows rootnoverify (sd0,1) chainloader +1 makeactive John On 3/7/07, Ameel, Christopher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Yup, verified the GRUB lines. The ONLY thing I can think of is this new HP PC uses SATA drives plugged directly into the mobo instead of IDE's. Would the commands in GRUB change at all for that? Linux booted fine but I never did get win back... __________________________________________ Chris Ameel [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ *From:* john [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Sent:* Wednesday, March 07, 2007 3:42 PM *To:* Ameel, Christopher *Cc:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: Installed Edubuntu, now, Windows won't boot.... Hi, Couldn't you edit the grub.conf file to read something like: default=0 timeout=10 title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 makeactive (the grub command 'makeactive' may not be necessary for your installation) or try walking through the steps via the grub command line as shown here: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/DOS_002fWindows.html#DOS_002fWindows The above is assuming that you are using the first harddisk on your primary IDE channel and that your WIN/OS lives on the first partition of that drive. You may need to adjust if windows is somewhere else. For example if you have a rescue partition on the disk (some OEM's do this) your grub file might look like: (again the grub command 'makeactive' may not be necessary for your installation) default=0 timeout=10 title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1 makeactive Also take a look at: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/6527-howto-solve-boot-problems-grub.html http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+Win9x+Grub-HOWTO/proc.html#AEN54 (especially the MAP section) http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/DOS_002fWindows.html#DOS_002fWindows hth, John On 3/6/07, Ameel, Christopher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm sure you've heard this too many times to count...
