My setup prior to having grub put on hda was as follows.. hda1 = windows partion hdb1 = linux boot partition
I had grub installed on hdb1 and planned to boot my computer from that drive. So because in BIOS I was booting from the slave drive grub reads that drive as (hd0,x) I understand completely that grub reads drive then partition and both count from zero as the first. Just wanted to clarify this A.J.
