Wow! That was an interesting result from Grub, I'd never have expected that, though I can't blame Grub as it was most likely my fault. I was trying to get it so I can boot my second hard drive, hd1 and get its XP to load from Grub. Choices would be Linux, Vista or XP. I was in the command-line and typed rootnoverify (hd1,0) hide (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 boot Made sense to me, I figured it would be all good. But!! It wasn't. Instead Vista started to load (that's hd0,0), so I'm confused as to why XP (hd1,0) didn't. Oh well I thought, anyway, half way through the load Vista command console comes up and says "autocheck program not found".... umm, okay I thought, then I hear *click* *tink* and the hard drives are turning off, WTF! Next thing I know the machines posting with a WIDE RANG BIOS ERROR.... WTF! So I recovered to previous (thank you gigabyte for dual bios)... Okay, so Grub clearly upset Vista by "switching"/"hiding" things. But.. 1... why didn't that work to boot XP 2... surely it was Vista that got upset and did bad bios things right... there's no way Grub could have done that?! H
Well if you were in Vista when errors started pooping up, I would say it's Vistas' fault. That would also put you offtopic for the list however. -- Fedora Core 6 and proud
