un-dual boot XP & FC2
How do I correct the boot procedure?
Neither will boot separately. How do I fix this?
BACKGROUND
I have 2 hardrives. hda is XP, and hdb is FC2, managed
by Grub. I want to separate them. I bought drive
trays, so when I want FC2, I put in FC2 tray. When I
want XP, I put in XP tray. RESULT: not dual boot
system.
QUESTION
how do I correct the boot procedure?
WHAT I'VE TRIED
I take out hdb (FC2) and boot hda XP only. I get:
"GRUB hard disk error"
I think the command is called "fixmbr" for WinXP. You should start from
the Windows[tm] CD to run it.
I place FC2 as primary master and adjust jumper as
master:
"
Booting from CD ROM
<goes to next line and waits...forever>
"
So, I think that I need to re-write a mbr, but I'm out
of my depth here. Any help appreciated.
Boot with FC2 CD1 into rescue mode and install grub onto the drive. Run
"chroot /mnt/sysimage" and "grub-install /dev/hda".
