Re: [MLUG] grub

[Nimrod Levy <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

There's an option in GRUB to swap the drive ids.  Put that option in
the section for windows.  Windows doesn't like running from the
non-boot drive, so you have to trick it a little.  The may not work,
I've usually seen it referenced when GRUB is on the first disk and you
want to put windows on the second.  But who knows...
