[openSUSE 11.4][GRUB 0.97] Can not boot on dualboot entry Jan 25th 2013, 16:54 Greetings !! I have had a disk failure, once again, and I have now troubles with grub that can not boot on restored partition. I have four disk drives used by GRUB with those settings /boot/grub/device.map: Code: (hd3)  /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST31500341AS_9VS1WYY5 (hd2)  /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD503HI_S23CJ1LZ300077 (hd0)  /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6L080P0_L24FS1XG (hd1)  /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD321KJ_S0MQJ9DQ217875 /boot/grub/menu.list: Code: ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows 1### title Windows XP SP2     #map (hd0) (hd0)     #map (hd0) (hd0)     rootnoverify (hd0,0)     makeactive     chainloader +1 For the little story the disk I removed was a Maxtor 160Go and now, to keep on working, I use a Maxtor 80Go. I changed the id of the disk to the correct values. But when booting, there is the GRUB menu splash and then once selected Windows XP SP2 entry I got an error telling that there is an "incorrect device". I can boot Linux without any problem but can't access the Windows XP SP2 partition. fdisk -l extract: Code: Disk /dev/sdc: 82.0 GB, 81964302336 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9964 cylinders, total 160086528 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x5bdea421   Device Boot      Start        End      Blocks  Id  System /dev/sdc1  *          63    8835749    4417843+  b  W95 FAT32 /dev/sdc2        16787925  160071659    71641867+  5  Extended /dev/sdc5        16787988    35632169    9422091    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sdc6        35632233  160071659    62219713+  7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT Using yast2 bootloader I put the "new" settings to the MBR of the disk (here named /dev/sdc but this is the master device on ide cable -- considered hd0 in GRUB). When looking at the bootloader installation detailsI got indications (that seems correct) that giving the maxtor as first in the list. I don't want to mess up the system because I need to work with but anyone could tell me how I could avoid this type of error ? Thanx in advance ^^
