I'm new to Linux - please help
I havent found an answer in the forums yet
I have 2 HDDs
The BIOS reports the HDDs in the following order:
- Third IDE Master = 200Gb drive
- Fourth IDE Master = 1Tb drive
The last 2 entries of Grub show:
- Drive - 200Gb - Microsoft Windows XP ........ on /dev/sda1
- Windows NT/200/XP (Loader) (on /dev/sdb1)
Windows XP (sp3) is installed on the 1st partition of both drives
Ubuntu (latest) is installed on the 2nd partition on the 1Tb drive
- Ubuntu loads fine from the 2nd partition of the 1Tb drive from the grub menu
- Windows XP loads fine from the 1st partition on the 200Gb drive from the grub menu
- Windows XP FAILS to load from the 1st partition on the 1Tb drive from the grub menu
- NB: this partition still contains all the windows files
When I select "Windows NT/200/XP (Loader) (on /dev/sdb1)" from grub I get:
- a black screen for a few seconds then it goes back to the grub selection menu
The default ubuntu (install alongside) config did not work so I used the advanced partition manager to get it installed - [ubuntu works fine]
I selected "Windows NT/200/XP (Loader) (on /dev/sdb1)" as part of the install process:
- I was just trying things to get it installed.
How do I change the grub entry "Windows NT/200/XP (Loader) (on /dev/sdb1)" to point to the correct location to boot Windows XP on the 1st partition of the 1TB drive?
Thank for any help
