Windows wants to boot from hda1. If you want to boot it from hdb2, you would have to use Smart Boot Manager to do it.
Here's the story:
Built a new PC
Bought a new HD
made a reiser partition, installed Knoppix /Debian to it.
made a VFAT Partition. Hooked up my old WinMe drive to the EIDE cable. Booted the machine using the CD that came with
the new hard drive (WD). Copied the entire MinMe drive to the vfat partition on the new drive using the copy utility on the CD.
Rebooted under Debian and edited lilo.conf as follows:
boot=/dev/hdb
vga=791
prompt
timeout=50
append = "hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi apm=power-off nomce"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-xfs
label=knoppix
root=/dev/hdb1
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
## A Windows installation, example for partition 1 on first IDE harddisk
other=/dev/hdb2
label=windows
# optional
# table=/dev/hdb1
Ran lilo.
When I reboot a get two choices from lilo. Knoppix works fine and I can see everything on the vfat partion, but when I choose windows at lilo time -- nothing.
I don't miss windows, and if I could get wine to work I could live with this. Suggestions?
