I had an old hard drive with windows xp pro on that I wanted to add to my machine and have a dual booting system. I assumed grub would pick this up and allow me to select which operating system I wanted to use.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Anyway here are the disks<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Sata – windows xp pro<o:p></o:p> IDE ( with IDE to Sata converter plugged in) – Fedora Core 6 < This has been working really well up until today.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> When I plug them both in together the system boots directly into Windows. Swapped the sata plugs on the mother board to try and get the Fedora to boot first and all I get is this….<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> GNU Grub Version 0.97<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Minimal Bash<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> GRUB><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> No I have been looking on the internet on how to get this back and the following does not work for me.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Root (hd0,0)<o:p></o:p> Setup (hd0)<o:p></o:p> Quit<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I tended to get error 15 a lot<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Any combination of locations in the HD brackets don’t work. I have looked up the boot sector using Knoppix and that still doesn’t work.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Any ideas please before I pull what little hair I have left out….<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html> No virus found in this outgoing message.
