62 +<p>
63 +This is a known problem. Windows refuses to boot when it isn't installed on the
64 +first hard drive and shows a black/blank screen. To handle this, you will have
65 +to "fool" Windows into believing that it is installed on the first hard drive
66 +with a little tweak in your boot loader configuration. Please note that in the
67 +below example, Gentoo is installed on <path>hda</path> (first disk) and Windows
68 +on <path>hdb</path> (second one). Adjust your config as needed.

90 +This will make Windows believe it is installed on the first hard drive and boot
91 +without problems. More information can be found in the <uri
92 +link="http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/DOS_002fWindows.html">GRUB
93 +documentation</uri> and in <c>man lilo.conf</c>, depending on the boot loader
94 +you're using.
