Hi,

Please go to the address@hidden list and look
for the recent thread 'grub hell'.
No one seems to know what the problem is.

Best regards,

I've seen that you do want the detected (hd0), which it is your second hard disk to be (hd1).

The most rational decision is to reconfigure your second hard disk grub so that it is aware that the second hard disk is hd0 and that there's no first hard disk.

However if you want to experiment with a new SGD ( http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org ) option you can try to do something like:

Boot & Tools -> LiveSwap -> Simple Swap -> (hd0) (hd1)
Boot & Tools -> LiveSwap -> Live Swap !
And then do:
Boot & Tools -> Show Partitions and check how both (hd0) and (hd1) point to the second hard disk.

However I might be wrong because you might find that both disks are non-existent. If that is the case the right sequence (after rebooting) is:
Boot & Tools -> LiveSwap -> Simple Swap -> (hd1) (hd0)
Boot & Tools -> LiveSwap -> Live Swap !
And then do:
Boot & Tools -> Show Partitions and check how both (hd0) and (hd1) point to the second hard disk.

This will let you boot your second hard disk if your grub menu.lst is set up in such a way that the second hard disk is hd1. But do not dream about booting hd0 because it seems your bios does not detect it.

By the way I recommend you to change cables and jumpers and all these things till the bios recognises the other hard disk, is the hard disk recognised by the bios when you turn on your computer?
