Hi All,
I posted before but this is sort of an update. Still need help.
I am trying to get Grub to boot all the OS's I have installed. It appears to
be a tricky thing to accomplish.
Here is what I did:
New Dell 4600 (3ghz, 512ram, 80gig HD) with XP Home installed. I added a 160
gig HD and made it master and the 80 a slave (XP has the whole 80gig drive).
On the 160 I put Win98se on the first 40, then swap, then SuSE and finally
Mandrake.
Both SuSE and Mandrake are in their own single partition (I did not separate
/ and /Home).
Steps;
I installed Win98se, then I installed SuSE. The Win98 drive did not show up
arigionally in Grub but I edited it and it worked fine then. My XP drive did
show up but Grub will not boot it because it does not recognise the file
system (is there a workaround for this?).
I then installed Mandrake 9.2 and told it to skip the boot loader. Went back
into SuSE and edited Grub again but no dice.
Here is what I have:
