My Linux partitions are lost.

[Bill Schoolcraft]

Hello Family,

On a new install I have of XP on my tripleboot laptop (xp,linux.freebsd) the
windows partition is the second one.  One this new Dell laptop the first 30 mb
partition is a utility partition.  So I'd try hitting the second partition for
windows.

On a side note, the new Dell 5150 has it's main harddrive as /dev/hdc, and the
cdrom is the master on the first controller at /dev/hda.  Go figure.

So on my new laptop my factory installed XP partition is /dev/hdc2

Well, the "hd1" will definitaly cause GRUB to inspect the second
drive (assuming its the primary drive on the secondary controller,
you see).  Depending on which partition WinXP is actually _on_
controls the number for the ",0" suffix and you perhaps must
experiment with that.

HTH.
