I have a second 80GB HDD, hdb, with linux partitions /dev/hdb1 (boot), hdb2 (swap) and hdb3 (root). My problem is that I already have WinXP installed, but on /dev/hda1 (that is the only partition on that 40GB HDD). I gathered that /dev/hda5 is another linux partition as is listed here: Quote:Ĭode listing 6.6: An example partition configuration # Below needed only for people who dual-boot Grub> setup (hd0,4) // Where the boot record is installed, here it is /dev/hda5 Grub> root (hd0,0) // Your boot partition

It says: Quote:Īlternatively, if you wanted to install the bootloader somewhere other than the MBR I've gotten as far as the emerge grub phase of the install but now I'm confused. Per the directions at the top of this thread and the install docs, Windows XP should be installed on hdb. Glad to seee that this thread is still active.

When i select windows, i get the following error: Kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 hdc=ide-scsi vga=794ĮDIT: oh crap, i forgot to post what error i got. i thought this would work fine, but alas no. This should definately be added to the installation faq.
Katana root # cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease Grub is one of those programs i just took for granted and only had a surface knowledge of (i never ever considered a man grub.). Interesting problem, eh?) but this finally resolves the problem of having my faster drive sitting as a useless fat32 storage bin! Thanks for the info, I'm definitely appreciative.Ĭelebrate this chance to be alive and breathing! Couldn't burn data cds but could burn audio. I wish I'd found this a bit earlier when I actually still needed to boot into windows (problem with my burner, got a new one and it's since been fixed. dev/hdc = CD/RW (hence the hdc=ide-scsi)Īnd finally yes your correct the "map-drive" and "to=" lines are to fool windows into thinking the computer booted from my scsi drive.
dev/sda = 18gb SCSI HD (on which all of my OS are installed, Gentoo and windows 2000) dev/hda = 120gb IDE HD (on which lilo is installed) I am fairly certain that the same would work to boot a copy of windows from an ide slave drive, just replace /dev/sda1 with /dev/hdb (or which ever is appropriate for your setup).Īlso I am not using scsi emulation on an ide hard disk my setup is as follows: Are there any other benefits or problems with doing that?Īlthough you are correct that it is a scsi drive that I am using, lilo is installed on /dev/hda my first harddisk (which is the drive which boots)and therefore windows must be fooled into thinking my computer booted from the scsi drive. Is that correct? If so, I've never known anyone to use SCSI emulation on an IDE HD. I'm guessing that the "map-drive" and "to=" lines are then meant to make a slave drive appear to be a master to Windows. In your example, you appear to be booting Windows from the first SCSI drive, although I'm guessing that the "hdc=ide-scsi" is making the IDE drive use SCSI emulation like CD-R/RW drives often do.
#GRUB4DOS BOOT WINDOWS 98SE HOW TO#
This thread started as an explanation of how to get Windows to boot from a slave IDE drive. It does not appear that you are doing the same thing, although it is difficult to say without an explanation of what you posted.

Good work, your post helped me dual boot into Windows XP Pro and Gentoo Linux on two different drives. You rock.this saved me and my roomate! Apparently I needed the map commands. You should submit this to publishers in the next Linux Bible haha Funny how they seem to all be up to date but none worked. Well done man, I have been reading many areas on getting my dual boot to work. any suggestions as to a fix for that, or is it just a price that is paid for the convenience of a dual-boot 'pooter? however, winxp seems to take longer to boot than normal, as does linux (at least linux mentions something about a readonly filesystem, and pauses there). Most excellent work on the dual booting problem. The thing that was causing the black screen was that I had: I had a black screen too but it still booted.
