The initial RedHat install does not create a valid /boot/grub/grub.conf for this situation. You must add the two "map" lines below to make this work. In my case I am mapping the 3rd hard drive (hd2) to the first hard drive (hd0) which allows grub to boot windows off of a drive other than the first. If windows is on your second hard drive, you would just substitute hd1 in place of hd2 for the below statements. # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-20.9) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.9 ro root=/dev/hda2 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.20-20.9.img title XP map (hd0) (hd2) map (hd2) (hd0) rootnoverify (hd2,0) chainloader +1 That should do it.
