I am a newbie to linux, and this last week has been
rough on me. All i want GRUB to do is load Linux. Here's what's goin
on:
hda1 is XP 40gb NTFS
hdb1 is Linux 4.3gb
EXT3
my grub.conf is standard stuff
default=0 my device map is nice looking, nothing wrong there|
i've checked each file, the grub.conf is pointing to the correct
direction
I've even done the dd if=/dev/hdb1
od=/mnt/floppy bs=512 count=1 thing. When i select "Linux" from my Win
XP load menu, all I get is GRUB _ and it hangs, forever accessing the
hard-drive.
Many many sites I have found claim to have this to
work, I sure as heck can't get it to. Just playing around, I installed GRUB on
my MBR and it actually went a little further, it got to 1.5 then croaked on an
error(knew it would)
If anyone has *any* ideas on a work around or
anything to just get Windows and Linux to boot without a boot disk(linux needs
one currently) please tell me. I'm willing to format linux, partition hard
drives as needed, swap drives, I just can't format my Windows(can't back-up the
20 gig of... important files on my hd)
Thanks for any help,
Adam Davis
