When I booted in rescue mode and execute grub-install /dev/hdc (or hdd), it prints this error message (and return exit code 1):
/dev/hdd7 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
I presume anaconda must have encountered the same problem, though it said 'all is well' :-).
(Quick googling does not reveal an easy fix.)
Well first we did exactly the same thing and it worked with Linux and Windows both booting. I would agree we need toi be sure that the grub was installed on the right drive: In any case at this point you can use the rescue disk to install grub in the MBR.
Just in case the process is as follows: Boot the rescue disk and at some point it will identify you linux and mount it on /mnt/sysimage. Then run a : chroot /mnt/sysimage Check on your /boot/grub/grub.conf to see if it is correct. Both the linux and Windows can be booted from the grub you will install in MBR. Then to do the installation you can do it one of two ways:
grub-install /dev/hda
The series of commands:
grub grub> root (hd0,4) <--- the 4 must be changed if your linuxis on a different partition. grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit Although the first option is easier to type the second works more consistently. If you don't know how to set up windows in grub it is with the lines: title windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1
OK. We shall give that a go.
Thanks Hari
