From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; Galeon) Gecko/20031114 Galeon/1.3.11a Description of problem: I have two hard drives with Fedora on the primary master and Windows XP on the primary slave. After installing Fedora, when I would select the Windows boot option from GRUB it would drop me into a GRUB shell. After Googling I found out that grub.conf was missing a statement. I added the map statement and it now boots as expected. title Windows map(hd1, hd0) rootnoverify(hd1,0) chainloader +1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 1 installer How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See description. Additional info:
The map statement isn't always needed (in fact, in most cases it's not and using it will break things). The only time it's needed is if you originally installed windows when the drive was the master and then later change it to be the slave.
Ah. That was the case for me. I installed XP when it was the primary drive (I think it failed installation when it was a slave), then later moved it to the slave. Thanks for the response.
Sorry to dig up such an old bug, but is there any plans to try and detect where this is needed or provide an install-time option for it (since the bug is closed as DEFERRED).
