Posted by "Alex Mclennan" <alexfido@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> hi to all,can some one help please,my machine is a 2.66 intel quad core with 160gb hd and 4 gb ram. my problem is that i have xp on the main sata hd and have just installed mepis 8 on an ide hd which is in a caddy. when i installed mepis i disconnected the sata drive just to make sure nothing untoward happened to that,the mepis boots up great on its own but as soon as i reconnect the sata drive and press f8 to bring up the boot menu,chose the ide drive it goes to the opening mepis screen, i select that and the load screen appears but will go no further. if i select the sata it boots into xp no problem. i only use xp to play 1 online game and watch a bit of 4od,im loathe to install mepis with the sata attached as it caused major problems last time i tried,any help much appreciated. alex the noob 01395576780 (sidmouth) -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Generated by the contributors page in the members area at D+C GLUG http://www.dcglug.org.uk/members/list.php webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
