I have to use Windows XP tommorrow night for some recording. I have it installed onto a laptop hardrive I did that last night...but I've taken it out because I only have room for one hard drive.
It is now sitting in a 2 1/2" removable case. Is there a way to use GRUB to boot off the removable USB disc... In linux its something like /dev/sda1 or /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 (or ./disc) I have tried: title Win XP Pro rootnoverify (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 And have substituted that hd1,0 for a number of things. But it only seems to be able to access IDE discs/cdroms not USB devices. Is it possible? Because I really can't be bothered to keep swapping the drives, and I will only be using windows once a week if that. I am currently using grub (GNU GRUB 0.96) and gentoo linux (not that that should matter to booting win) oh and there is no bios support to boot directly off a usb device my laptop is a couple years old now. thanks Luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
