I believe the problem is that Windows expect to be installed on the first disk |
| 39 |
and when it is not it fail to start. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Try adding this before the rootnoverify line: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
map hd0 hd1 |
| 44 |
map hd1 hd0 |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
This will make the bios change the order of the disks and Windows will |
| 47 |
hopefully be happy again. |
