Hi,
This seems to be a known problem but i'm not sure of the proper fix.
Would you please test the following two changes and let us know if either
of them work or not:
Modify the rootnoverify line above to:
rootnoverify (hd0, 3)
and if that doesn't work please try:
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
Hope this helps.
Sean.
You are telling him to try to boot from the extended partition ---> no
way, not a filesystem here.
Then you have him try the linux swap partition --> even worse.
No you are wrong.
(hd0,0) is hda1 (FAT32)
(hd0,1) is hda2 )FreeBSD)
(hd0,2) is hda3 (Linux)
(hd0,5) is hda5 (Linux)
These are the only possible choices, and his Windows 2000 can only
possibly reside on hda1 or hda2 (probably on hda1).
No you are wrong.
He is trying to boot Windows 2000 which should be NTFS and the partition
table shows it as FAT32.
This may be the problem, and if he allowed the system to do an
auto-partition when installing it may have corrupted the partition table.
A corrupt partition table may prevent recovery.
Please don't try to disuade him from trying. It may very well work
for him.
Cheers,
Sean.
I am not trying to dissuade him from anything. I am pointing out your errors.
You are telling me I am wrong, now show me how my statements are wrong.
