You must edit the file /boot/grub/grub.conf and there is a link to it from /etc/grub.conf But I suppose you found the correct file. > I tried to install grub on the mbr of the 2nd drive and doesn't works. > > what's wrong? Problem is, that Windows can not boot from another drive then the first (at least this is true for version up to Winn 2000) So, normally you should install Win on the first drive, first partition (for some Win versions even the second partition of the first drive didn't work). I suppose you have installed a second HD, because there is no way to install a windows onto a second HD. Solution is: you must swap the HD in some way. If grub can't, you may use lilo. Or you should search your bios for a way to swap the order of the HDs. If nothing works, you you change the HD physically. You can use the win bootloader to boot linux or you can install grub on the first HD which will start win or linux. Peter
