Hi!
I'm using a setup as follows:
New Linux hd (scsi)
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 8.23mb
/dev/sda2 swap swap 526.42mb
/dev/sda3 / ext3 10487.24mb
/dev/sda4 /home ext3 62380.53mb
Windows XP hd (ide0)
/dev/hda1 WindowsXP for VMWare fat32 3002.23mb
/dev/hda2 WindowsXP standalone fat32 3002.23mb
/dev/hda3 Program Files & My Documents for both WinXP 9360.37
Old Linux hd (ide1)
/dev/hdc1 /boot ext3 8.23mb
/dev/hdc2 swap swap 509.97mb
/dev/hdc3 / ext3 19888.73mb
hda1 is used for a raw disk in VMWare using Linux as a host and Windows XP Pro
as the guest os. hda2 is used for Windows XP Pro standalone which was
installed with IDE before SCSI (hda = 0x80, hdc = 0x81, sda = 0x82), in
contrast to my usual SCSI before IDE setting (sda = 0x80, hda = 0x81, hdc =
0x82).
The plan is to use GRUB to boot both Linux partitions (works already) and the
standalone WindowsXP (doesn't work) by mapping the IDE's first. I can boot
into Windows XP by changing my BIOS settings to IDE before SCSI (hda MBR is
used by the Windows bootmenu) but shouldn't it also be possible with GRUB?
Right now I've already tried the following configurations:
(device.map is set correctly to (hd0) -> /dev/sda, ..., GRUB is in the sda
MBR)
[ some general and linux settings ]
# Windows XP
title Windows XP
# Mapping's the same for each of the trials, should reverse IDE <-> SCSI
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd2)
map (hd2) (hd0)
# WindowsXP using MBR of hda
root (hd1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
-> Gives a 'Missing operating system' and then ... nothing
# WindowsXP booting directly hda2
root (hd1,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
-> Does nothing at all, just hangs the PC
# WindowsXP using an image-file of the MBR
root (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader /bootsek.win
-> Gives the same error as with 'root (hd0)': 'Missing operating system'
Any ideas how I could make this work? Although I can always change the
IDE<->SCSI BIOS settings, there should be (hopefully) a better alternative. I
would appreciate any help.
Cheers, Jan
