Boot from system, go to the grub menu and edit the grub menu option to boot the operating system (usually by pressing “e”). The “root(hdX,Z)” type of command needs to be changed to “root(hdY,Z)”, where hdY is the new BIOS device name for the root/boot disk. Example, edit "root(hd2,0)" to "root(hd0,0)". After editing, the system can be booted by pressing “b”. The system will then boot successfully. At the first boot, the admin should edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to change all references of “hdX” to “hdY” so as to point to the correct BIOS device name. This will ensure the system boots correctly thereafter. Applies ToBoot problem after upgrading to PDLinux 6.6.1. or 6.6.3 Terms of use for this information are found in Legal Notices.

So in Windows Seagate 200GB is seen as a SCSI disk.NOTE: I have preserved the NTLDR bootloader on the Seagate 200GB and I need to switch the harddrives priority in the BIOS so the Western Digital Raptor 36GB is the first drive to boot to load Grub.The problem is that when I try to boot Windows XP in Grub I get an error that the selected disk does not exist.On Linux the disks are detected as:sda = linux (sata) (hd0,0)hdf = windows xp (ide) A partially logical mapping for the ide-disk, hdf, might be (hd5,0) but I only think Grub goes up to hdd.I get this error with Grub, so it might be some reconfiguring of BIOS, connector-setup, or something else.Booting Windows XP rootnoverify (hd5,0) makeactive chainloader +1 Error: 21: Selected disk does not exist Press any key to continue ...The question is.. How?The easiest solution would be to throw my ASUS P5W to hell! This was a good buy, half of new price with warranty, but still I've heard of people doing just fine with Jmicron and many good reputated mainboard come with that controller, although it's not that kind to Linux.
