I have my mythfrontend system working on sda but I want to be able to<br>
add my wife's existing Windows XP HD on sdb as a dual boot option.<br>
She has an XP machine with the same basic computer. I have verified<br>
that Mythbuntu 8.04 is running on a sda and the stand alone Windows XP<br>
will be on sdb. I can boot from either one by selecting it in the<br>
bios setup but obviously that is not a solution.<br>
<br>
Best I could figure was to add this to the boot loader:<br>
title Windows XP<br>
root (sdb)<br>
makeactive<br>
chainloader +1<br>
<br>
I get the Windows option showing up in GRUB, but I get an error<br>
message when I select it.<br>
<br>
But obviously I don't know what I am doing.<br>
<br>
In looking for answers, pretty much people say load Windows first.<br>
But I already have both loaded and on their own disks, so that doesn't<br>
help.<br>
<br>
This seems like it should be very easy. I need to get this running<br>
this week for my wife's birthday on the 27th.<br>
<br>
Help on this would be appreciated. I just can't find much in the<br>
ubuntu wiki or through google.<br>
<br>
