I restored a saved Windows 2000 (Partimage) image onto /dev/hdb1 then added |
| 18 |
the following to my grub.conf: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
title Windows 2k |
| 21 |
map (hd0) (hd1) |
| 22 |
map (hd1) (hd0) |
| 23 |
rootnoverify (hd1,0) |
| 24 |
makeactive |
| 25 |
chainloader +1 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I also found out that it didn't really like my LVM2 drives. It created drives |
| 28 |
all the way up to P: which really made no sense to me, so I went into |
| 29 |
Windows control panel / system and disabled two of my other hard |
| 30 |
drives /dev/hda and /dev/hdf..then on My Computer it only sees the drives I |
| 31 |
want it to see. |
| 32 |

Oh, I only put windows on so I could play the Doom 3 demo since I couldn't get |
| 34 |
the one in portage to work. |
