Ok....here's the deal.
I have an Asus A7V motherboard. It runs a Duron 700 chip with the =
100/200 bus.
The way this motherboard was implemented is that there are two onboard =
IDE controllers.
One is a 33/66 and the other is a 33/66/100, I think.
What happens is the upon booting up, it first looks at the ata66 =
controllers...then scans the ata100 controllers.
I have had to plug my hd cables into the ata33/66 controller to actually =
install the OS or OS's.
So....last night I received my new WD 100 Gig HD with the 8mb =
buffer..pretty sweet.
had to plug it into the slower ide controller to install first WinXP and =
then MDK 9.0
Everything is cool so far. Took everyones advice and I have a huge =
partition that both OS's can see...its great.
Here is the problem. When I moved the cables to the ata100 =
controller....and rebooted....I can boot into WinXP fine...but I cannot =
boot into MDK9
If I move the cables back to the ata66 controller then I can boot into =
either.
So there must be something like the boot.ini file in Linux.......so I'm =
guessing I need to edit it to do something different.
But if that is the case then why didn't I have to do the same for =
boot.ini under WinXP?
Or am I barking up the wrong tree altogether? I really want to use the =
faster controller since my new harddrive was designed to make use of it.
TIA for any help you can provide,
Cleve
