Apologies in advance for the misuse of language - I'm new to Linux (hence Mint!), but not computer shy. My problem is trying to make my machine dual boot.

I have taken the hard disc out of a linux box and put it into my windows box, (intel core2 at heart), so the windows drive is disk 0, and linux is on drive 1.

 

I can boot into linux using SuperGrubDisk, (or swapping discs round in bios settings), but can't get it to work with the windows boot loader. I think the problem is that linux (and grub) was installed when disk was hd0, and even when I load linux is convinced it is loaded in hd0, [/dev/hda2]. However windows report that the linux partition is hd1, (and supergrub reports it as hd1; /dev/hdb2).

 

I followed instructions from http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/gru...HOWTO.html (but already had grub installed) to make copy of boot section of linux disk on windows drive and point the windows bootloader at it, but no joy! Any ideas how to resolve this issue so that I can use the windows boot loader to load either XP or Mint?

 

(Sadly, not just me that uses the computer so need windows to be the default OS)

 

Any help much appreciated,

Anyone here use monit and know how to install it and configure it on Redhat? Something keeps killing sendmail and I want monit to restart the process until I dig far enough in to figure out what the cause is.

Does Pkill just end the service.. or does it actually restart it as well? I have used the command in this way Pkill -9 java to restart java... but what happens if I do not append java with the -9? I'm working on a live phoneswitch running Redhat and figured asking would be better than just doing to find out. Thanks a lot.

I am extremely new to linux and am having major difficulty setting up my wireless card. I am running Fedora 9 on a Dell Inspiron 1150. I have the Linksys WPC300N PCMCIA Wireless Network Adapter. I would love to be able to get wireless internet on my laptop with Fedora......so far no luck and it appears for obvious reasons.

 

Any help out there would be greatly appreciated. I definitely need to get my wireless connection up and running and would hate to go back to Windows!

 

Thanks
