Can someone help with dual boot install problem?
I installed a second hard drive on a system with Windows XP. The drive
with the existing XP installation is master (hda). The drive is slave
(hdb). The system also has a CD drive. It does not have a floppy drive.
I booted to the CD drive with the Fedora 3 install CD. I installed
Linux to hdb. I selected the GRUB boot loader.
After install, on reboot I got the following message:
"GRUB Hard Disk Error"
Nothing else happens. Any ideas about what the error is and how to fix
it? Has something happened to the MBR? Have I lost the XP installation?
Thanks for any help.
Sounds like there isn't a /boot partition within the first 1024
cylinders on hdb.
What is your partition setup?
If my first guess is correct, might be easiest to just do a fresh
install to hdb and ensure that there is a minimum 100 meg /boot
partition as the first partition on hdb.
