380161 2005-08-11 22:49:00 grub.conf is sometimes in /etc, sometimes in a subdirectory in /boot/grub , depending on the distribution.

There is most likely a config file in both directories but if you browse those directories you'll see that one of them is a text file and the other is just a link.

Without knowing SATA; hd1,0 is the first partition on the second disk. Are you sure that's where windows is located?

It's now unheard of for linux to pick up another windows partition (other than win c:) as windows itself during the install process. For me it tells me that my my documents partition (e: or f: on my second disk) is a second installation of windows.

Yes I am absolutely sure that this is where my Windows install is... I didn't have a problem with Fedora Core 3 and a dual boot system using GRUB so I don't think it's a problem with SATA... at least I wouldn't think it would be.

I will have another Google and see what I come up with.
