Everyone,



Ok I've googling this all morning and can't seem to find any good answers.



What would it take to install XP to a secondary hard drive ( hdb ) using grub



I've got the entry in grub thus:



title           Windows XP

map (hd0) (hd1)

map (hd1) (hd0)

rootnoverify (hd0,0)

chainloader     +1

makeactive

boot



I've copied the install files from the CD to the first partition but I'm getting an error "unknown binaries" when trying to boot it.



Anyone ever had any luck directly installing XP from CD to hd1 ?



Thanks in advance.



Greg Booth
