you should state your current grub menu.lst in full first, so people can see and helppanzerpuppy wrote:Here's a tricky question for you:
I have an older Puppy 4.12 (which uses the old the hd? naming scheme for the drives) and 5 partitions on the hard drive: hda1,hda5,hda6,hda7 and hda8.
The first 4 are FAT32,and the last one (hda8) is EXT3.
I have GRUB installed on hda1 (FAT32) so I can select Puppy from the WinXP boot menu.
How should I set up the menu.lst in GRUB to boot frugally from hda8?
If I specify the partition as (hd0,4) or (hd0,7) ,I get an Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
and since it is a 4.1.2 question, you should better post it somewhere else
