Hello everyone, im having some issues regarding grub and multi booting arch linux with windows xp, on 2 seperate hard drives. Ill try to provide as much information as I can.
I have 2x 1tb hard drives. The first one has windows xp untouched, and the second has arch linux.
What I was trying to do was dual boot arch and windows together, and have the drive with arch installed let me select which OS to load, that being arch or windows. I installed windows on the first drive with no errors at all, I then proceeded to install arch linux on the second drive, and when i rebooted, i was greeted with grub with arch linux/windows to choose from, but neither would boot. Arch gave me grub error 17 and windows gave me grub error 13. Both hard drives were plugged in while doing both installs. One drive has windows xp, and works perfectly, the other has arch linux, with a grub menu with the ability to select either arch or windows, but unable to load either one.
Here is a link to the pastebin

there is the grub menu I took from arch linux, with both OS's setup on there. I hope that helps. Im not sure if i change a few things in grub menu if that would help or not? Not quite sure. Any help would be much appreciated. If I made something unclear or you need more information please let me know.
Thank you:D
