MoldyBread Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Ok, I have 2 hdds as follows: 80GB Westerdigital IDE HDD, Primary. PARTITIONONE (HD 0) Mac OS X PARTITIONTWO (HD 2) SUSE Linux 9.3 200GB Western Digital S-ATA HDD, (set as master, but its not the primary dive as I set in the bios) Windows XP, the only partition. I am using grub to boot and so far its working good, I can boot linux, Mac OS X, but NOT windows. I have the code right here from the /boot/grub/menu.lst file: # Modified by YaST2.

I have tried many combanations (HD1,0) (HD1,1) (SD1,0) and (SD1,1) I say SD becuase when I do properties on the Mac OS X partitions, I get HDA1, when I go to properties on the linux drive it says HDA1, and when I go to properties on the XP drive it says SDA1 Is it a problem in the code? Help? I want to use grub becuase its working good so far! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3877-triple-boot-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoldyBread Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 Am I going about pathing to windows all wrong? DO I need a different code in its place?

Help? I want to use grub becuase its working good so far! (sd0,0) is a wrong synthax for Grub. Go to /boot/grub an take a look at the file device.map, it should be something like this: (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/sda Then change the XP section in Grub with something like this: title Windows (sda1) rootnoverify (hd1,0) map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) makeactive chainloader +1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3877-triple-boot-problem/#findComment-24844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
