Get rid of the "makeactive" line -- it's unneccessary, and may cause |
| 7 |
you no end of headaches... What that line does is change the "active" |
| 8 |
(bootable) partition - in this case, to your WindowsXP partition which |
| 9 |
probably isn't what you want... |

Get rid of the "root (hd1,0)" line -- it's unneccessary (and may be |
| 17 |
what's causing your problem)... |

You can try using the "map" command to swap the drives around (as far |
| 20 |
as the BIOS/Windows is concerned): |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
title=Windows 2000 |
| 23 |
map (hd0) (hd1) |
| 24 |
map (hd1) (hd0) |
| 25 |
rootnoverify (hd1,0) |
| 26 |
chainloader +1 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
...would make your BIOS/Win2K to think that /dev/hdb is /dev/hda, and |
| 29 |
vice versa. Most versions of Windows that I've messed around with |
| 30 |
require being installed to a primary partition on the first hard disk. |
| 31 |
This solution works around that limitation. |
