Hi, Paul - sorry about the HTML and thanks for the grub note. The second drive is the FC3 disk. The grub.conf is on it in the grub area. It is also on the 1st drive in the root. Here are the contents: ----- snip # 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 (hd1,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdb3 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.741_FC3) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.741_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.741_FC3.img title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.724_FC3) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.724_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.724_FC3.img title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.681_FC3) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.img title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img title Win XP Pro rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 ----- unsnip Thanks for the help!

Otherwise, will lilo > work if I use it instead of grub? What's on the second drive? Anything needed for booting? What's in your grub.conf file? P.S. Please don't post HTML to this mailing list.
