I purchased an AMD phenomII 6 core with 6G ram and 1.5Tb hard drive with
windows 7 home premium already installed.
I added a 500G cavier black drive for my linux system, and removed the
windows disk temporarily during the install to ensure I didn't clobber
the windows stuff (I need windows professionally), but I want dual boot,
so this should work.
FEL14 x64 live cd was used to setup the disk.
I moved all of my older user directories from the prior FC12 drive to
the new drive no problem.
Now I need to set up the dual boot.
Researching the net returned the usual stuff about hd0 and hd1, so I
edited menu.lst. (see later listings of menu.lst and grub.conf)
I do not see the menu presented. I don't seem to be able to get into
windows 7 at all. So the question becomes, how to access the menu and
get windows 7 to boot. I have included the information on grub.conf and
menu.lst to show what I have done. I am sure it is wrong, but I am not
seeing it.
