Dual boot pain
From NinjaMonkeys
Three hard drives, windows on one SATA, linux on an IDE. Linux boots fine, but windows seizes after the 'starting up' message or says NTLDR is missing.
Somehow I managed to get it going after ages of fiddling, and yet, when I boot my Linux drives comes up as /dev/sdc instead of /dev/sda the way it is in the grub configuration. Illogical, but it's working, so I'm backing up that knowledge here.
Grub device.map:
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb
(hd2) /dev/sdc
Grub menu.lst:
default 0
timeout 10
