I dunno but I am unsure about your grub entries ie surely they need to state both which hard drive ie hda and then also the partition ie hda1? To my knowledge hda is the first IDE hard drive detected. hdb would be the secondary IDE drive. I am unsure but I think hda is the Primary Master, hdb is Primary Slave etc. If your drives are SATA or SCSI then the drives will be known as sda and sdb. Don't forget to add the partition number after the letters. > Thanks in advance! I am not good at these booting stuff and is learning.
