Oh, well, the IDs of your HDs are not very helpful here Booting linux/Unix is different from booting M$ Windows first of all, no Unix-like system (execpt may be Sun) will be verify a hard disk serial number -- if it differs from the original hardware where it was installed Windows do it EVERYTIME after it loads SATA drivers There is no exception. It made to combat the piracy, as the Micro$oft says. So even if owe the legal copy of Win$ you should reactivate or reinstall it legally if any of your system drive changes.
another thought is the config of your grub in my grub1 config I was adding for WinDo$ next few lines: title Windows XP root (hd1,0) map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) chainloader +1 makeactive - The chainloader is the most important command that instructs grub to reserve the memory for loading Win (basically if I not mistaken it reserves first 1Kb for whatever Window$ needs, I do not remember it right away ) - makeactive Instructs grub to send a signal after a HD or SATA drivers loading to show it to Window$ Well, I can be wrong here, if I am, please correct me On Sat, 2010-12-25 at 05:31 -0800, Leslie S Satenstein wrote: > Can we mix grub with grub2? > > Is there a Grub2 option to send grub2 to boot the mbr on another drive? > > [email protected] / [email protected] > www.itbms.biz > > Regards > Leslie > _______________________________________________ > mlug mailing list > [email protected] > https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
