Setting grub 1

[franklin97355]

OK, I've done this before but things seem to have changed these days. I just installed SuSE 10.0 on it's own HD and moved the xp hd to the slave. Grub has a option for windows but it just throws up a screen with chainloader +1 and stops. I went to the /etc/grub.conf but it does not look like what I remembered.

setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0, 1) (hd0, 1)
setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0) (hd0, 1)
quit

I think I know what I have to insert

rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
boot

but where is the right file?

If you can boot linux then look in /boot/grub/menu.lst

Thanks, that was what I was looking for. Seems to me that used to be in grub.conf. I will boot again and see what I get (I'm on the system now so it wasn't a big stretch to change it. Again, thanks.

Well, I need to refine my syntax for the windows boot as it didn't like the rootnoverify and bombed. But I'm on the right track.

OK, I think I have it, at least it worked from the edit menu.
You have to map the drives and then run the chainloader since xp will only boot if it is the first drive.

map (hd0,1) (hd1,0)
map (hd1,0) (hd0,1)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
