Booting from second hdd
Hey guys I successfully installed knoppix 5.1. onto my second hard drive but I can't seem to boot from it. My system is an old ass one running ide slave and master hdd's pentium 1.1 ghz (yeah i know). I currently have XP installed on the master hdd and knoppix on the slave. I did make a boot disk when installing but when the boot disk (grub) looks for knoppix it looks for it on hda 1 not hdb 1 so that gets me no where fast. I checked the floppy and it is setup to chainload hda 1. So my question to you guys is how do i get it fixed? I really don't want to mess with my xp hdd because this is currently my only working desktop at home, not to mention it has a lot of software and files that although backed up i really really really don't want to go and have to reinstall them. Just wondering what would be the best way to go about this and i don't mind having to use a boot disk to be on the safe side.
Thanks,
Tony
