RE: Windows 2000 on second hard drive

We are are using Grub at the office since westerday,
to do what you want:
  boot Windows2000 on a second disk
  (installed as usually on a first disk)
It works fine, here is a piece of menu.lst used:

# Boot on second disk, master on 2nd IDE chanel
# W2K installed when it was on 1st IDE chanel
title Windows2000
root (hd1,0)
map (0x81) (0x80)
map (0x80) (0x81)
makeactive
chainloader +1

# Boot on 1st disk, master on 1st IDE chanel
title Main OS
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

----------
Well, the disk swap with "map" just helps the NT OS Loader.
Then I guess W2K has his disk signatures and letter assignments effective.
Anyway, it's working!
