I've done this on SATA and IDE drives and combos of |
2 |
the same and I never got XP to boot unless I used |
3 |
rootnoverify (hd0,0). Macro$haft insists on being |
4 |
first in my experience. FWIW. |

Make a grub boot disk(if you haven't already) and |
7 |
practice until you find the proper sequence of |
8 |
commands; then you can put them into a conf file and |
9 |
do a grub-install. I'd do that first. A false move |
10 |
could wipe out your MBR. |

|
12 |
As I recall I completey destroyed the boot partition |
13 |
on a brand new HD while fumbling with GRUB. But it was |
14 |
still under warranty "Whew!" |
