    Help with multiple boot system

    After a Knoppix/Windows crash, I reinstalled Knoppix and Windows to the same drive and then
    installed Fedora Core 3 to a separate drive. The initial Knoppix/Windows (same drive with LILO) install found
    both Knoppix and Windows and had no problem going to either operating system. When I installed Fedora
    Core 3 to a separate drive, Grub would only pick up on Windows and Fedora Core 3. How can I find where
    Knoppix is at to add it to my choice of operating systems??? What code would I then use to add it to Grub???

    Thanks,
    Pauly

    If you can mount the other hard drive with knx/win, then you need only add some lines to GRUB.CONF. The line for Knoppix will be very similar to the Fedora entry, but on a different "hd."

    Use something like this for windows:
    Code:
    title Windows 2K/XP/2003 (on hdb1) 
     rootnoverify (hd1,0) 
     makeactive 
     chainloader +1 
     savedefault

    It sounds like you over-wrote your existing MBR with Grub when you installed FC. Strange it didn't auto knoppix, seeing as how it did Win.

    But, just to add to the above...

    ---------------------------------
    Lilo to Grub hdd translation.
    Lilo ---> Grub
    ---------------------------------
    First drive:
    hda ---> hd0

    First drive, First partition:
    hda1 ---> (hd0,0)

    First drive, Second partition:
    hda2 ---> (hd0,1)


    Second drive:
    hdb ---> hd1

    Second drive, First partition:
    hdb1 ---> (hd1,0)

    Second drive, Second partition:
    hdb2 ---> (hd1,1)
