| 225868 | 2004-03-31 11:56:00 | chill john and murray I cheated and cleaned out all the partions xp is now on what would be hda3, swap hda1 and root (/boot) is hda2, hey and grub works to. I think the problem (grub not installing to the boot sector) could have been related to 1024 cylnder restriction in the boot loader and this laptop not supporting lba32 sorry if this seems repeative but thank you for your help and two warnings :) win modem on this laptop and getting it to connect to my network I found somthing you may enjoy also while researching my problem (google got used often) "linux is user friendly..... its just picky about its friends" :D Hopefully myself and linux will become good friends |
