XP Pro wont boot with RHL 8.0 on *other* HDD

[ashayh]

Like I said I have XP on a 40GB Barracuda IV (Primary Master) and RHL 8.0 on a Medalist 4.3GB (Sec master).

And XP's progress bar wont stop going round and round..

As soon as I remove the data cable on Linux hdd(while its on. I *know* thats not smart), XP goes right ahead...
But Linux boots fine..

This means if I have to boot into windows, i have to remove the cable..

This has not happened before.. I've had linux on another hdd

Any ideas

:argh:

Do you have the boot loader (LILO or grub? which one?) installed in the MBR of the primary master?

Have you marked the Win XP partition active?

LoL.....

And Micro$oft is wondering right about now....

Why are all our customers leaving us & running that Linux stuff?!?!?!



This is the very exact reason I started running linux ONLY

But if you are dead set on not letting your Windows free, Go HERE (http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=GN210) and get yourself a removable bay or two & run them on thier own so one another doesnt even know the other exists

But I suggest getting rid of the monopoly/controlling/power-mongering OS
