The slave hard drive on my box is dual boot windows/linux. The master
also has linux. This makes for three OS's. Only the master hard drive is
booting at the moment, which I'd like to fix. All data has been backed
up.
When I attempt to boot windows I get an excerpt from /boot/grub/grub.conf
as follows:
title Other
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
Other meaning windows (which I should change). Prior to installing linux
to the master, windows on the slave booted fine. However, linux on the
slave didn't boot. To expedite things I just went ahead and installed
linux on the master, as that seemed easiest at the time.
I know that grub can be edited, but I don't how it should be changed.
Perhaps this is related to the MBR on hdb? I don't mind re-installing
windows to hdb, I wanted to repartition anyhow.
