Hi,
I recently added WinXP to my 2nd harddrive which is a slave. I have ubuntu on my first main one. The thing i want to do here is I would like to have the GRUB menu to have WinXP on it so i dont have to go to the BIOS and tell it to load it that way.. I would like my linux drive to be the main one so the GRUB menu will load with the GRUB menu having WinXP so i can boot it from there.
i dont know if this is needed so u guys know but here is the results from fdisk:
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xd0f4738c
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 9544 76662148+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 9545 9726 1461915 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 9545 9726 1461883+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Disk /dev/sdb: 41.1 GB, 41110142976 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4998 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x55054103
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 4997 40138371 7 HPFS/NTFS
any help is appreciated thanks!
