That does not work... this is the totally WRONG way. You have to install
grub on the master boot record of /dev/hda!
That can be done With the "grub" tool, that comes with the Grand Unified
Boot Loader, even if it is set up on the wrong harddisks MBR.
Windows will not start! if you change the harddisk start procedure in
the BIOS.
What linux version are you using?
Fedora Core 4
Do you have a CD from where you can
start Linux to access and to "chown" the bash of the other harddisk?!
No, I looked with Google but could not find a boot cdrom although I know
it has
been discussed here. When I needed one I couldn't find a reference to
it. All I
have is the set of four installation disks I bought from a vendor on line.
I tried manipulating the BIOS settings and I know that wont do it.
In the past I installed Windows first and then the Linux installation took
care of the Lilo/Grub installation and it "just worked," But not so this
time with Windows 2000 and FC-4! Obviously I am missing something in
the installation routine but don't know what I'm doing wrong?

Grub for FC-4. Windows is on /dev/hda [40gig] and FC-4 on /dev/hdb
[10gig]. The user doesn't really need/want Linux but it will be a
convenience for me if I can make it work.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thank you.

Maybe grub has been installed on the master boot record of the second hard disk (hdb). But in the bios the first disk (hda) is selected to boot from.
If that's the case, modify your bios and change to boot order (your second hdd at first) or install grub on hda.
