I have a similar but different problem. My laptop has xp home on it.
I installed linux on logical partition. I added a primary for "/boot"
to put /grub on. looks like
hda2 1 - 572 xp restore partition
hda3 573- 635 "/boot/grub"
hda1 636- 3591 xp ntfs
hda5 3592- 3653 lin swap
hda6 3654- 4139 linux ext2
yes, the MBR is on hda2 not hda1
With a live cd I can make hda3 active only--reboot and computer
(gateway) will boot straight into xp. I check with live cd and cfdisk
and both hda3 and hda1 are active...???
How do I get computer to use hda3 to boot??
Is bios controlling where computer boots?
