Unable to sleep Vista after booting through GRUB on Linux HDD

[VvWolverinevV]

I have two HDDs - one with Windows Vista x86-64 and one with Linux. I recently setup GRUB on the Linux HDD's MBR. This allows me to choose the operating system I want to boot when the BIOS calls the Linux HDD MBR. However, when I boot to Windows in this way, sleep does not work properly (it simply locks my session - almost as if something like a USB device were waking the computer immediately after it tries to sleep).

When the BIOS calls the Windows HDD MBR, however, sleep works just fine.

Other possibly useful information: I used to have GRUB on the Windows HDD, and in that case, sleep also worked fine. So it seems to be a problem with actually booting through the secondary HDD MBR. Could reinstallation of GRUB on the Linux HDD have messed up some hard drive numbering such that the BIOS would have trouble sleeping?

Does anyone know what's going on here? :confused:

I think you need Windows' boot loader to load sleep images.

GRUB calls the Windows boot loader, does it not?

Yeah! That's called chainloading..

If you think so., then attach both the hard disks and post the output of the command


sudo fdisk -l

... which is weird because I had to set up /boot/grub/menu.lst to call Ubuntu on hd0(=sda, according to /boot/grub/device.map) and Windows on hd1(=sdb)...
