Hi,
I have a multi-hdd, multi partitioned setup, and I can't seem to get Grub to add the Vista install into the boot menu.
I have run the boot info script, and here's the output from that:
============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================
=> Grub0.97 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on boot drive #2 in
partition #3 for /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst.
=> Windows is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb
=> Grub0.97 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdc and looks on boot drive #3 in
partition #3 for /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst.

how should be Grub be setup for allowing Vista to boot?
many thanks

I have a multi-hdd, multi partitioned setup, and I can't seem to get Grub to add the Vista install into the boot menu.
I have run the boot info script, and here's the output from that:
