higgsy Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hi guys/gals I'm currently set up as follows: HDD1 - Windows XP (Acronis Bootloader) HDD2 - OSx86 I use the acronis boot loader on HDD1 to boot into both my operating systems I want to reformat HDD1 with the bootloader and install Ubuntu Linux, I presume I can install grub. What configuration will be required to get it to detect OSx86? Will it pick it up automatically?

cbmkgd Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 It won't pick it up automatically. Add this to grub's menu.lst: title OSX 10.4.8 root (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 If that doesn't work, replace root with rootnoverify. Or try chainloader --force +1 as the last line. Or try both changes. Alternatively, you could choose which drive to boot in your bios boot menu (check your hd manual to see which F-key will get you this menu).
