Default Urgent: Grub and Windows on hdc1?

Hi,

I've just spent several hours installing gentoo, and I'm almost there.

I can boot linux on hda1, but Windows XP, which is on hdc1 I can't figure
out. What should I put in grub.conf?

If I use (hd2,x) grub says "Selected disk does not exist).

I've just bought Battlefield Vietnam, so I _need_ to get Windows started :-)

By the way - how can I in Linux get a listing of my drives?

TIA,

Jakob

Try

title Windows
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader (hd1,0)+1

Maybe also without the map lines.

fdisk -l

Btw, what's urgent with that?

Hi Dennis,

Thanks! That worked.

I needed access to my windows in order to do something related to my work
before going to bed.
