I decided since I had to rebuild both WinXP and Gentoo that I'd just put them on the same hard drive. The Gentoo install is complete right up to the point where I run grub and write it somewhere and I want to make sure I understand the right way to do this. The disk layout is like this (MBR) - Win XP /dev/hda1 - Win XP /dev/hda2 - extended partition /dev/hda5 - /boot /dev/hda6 - swap /dev/hda7 - / /dev/hda8 - /home Now, my question, where do I write grub? I believe it's into the MBR and not into partition 1, correct? If so I'd use: grub grub> root (hd0,4) grub> setup (hd0) (Install GRUB in the MBR) grub> quit Is this correct? Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
