The funny thing is that with the Windows drive in the normal prime
main controller master position where it was before I added the second
drive, it comes up as sdb (hd1)  The linux disk is on a secondary VIA
controller and comes up as sdb (hd0).    Would you suggest putting the
windows drive on the VIA controller and avoiding the switching?

The problem I am having is that windows will not hibernate when called
from grub although it hibernates just fine if I change the boot order
in the bios and boot directly to the windows disk.

PS.  I am using gmail and am not smart enough to change the subject in
a reply to OT.  In addition, I have been warned not to change subject
lines so not sure it would be correct even if I could.
