I think that's the better idea. Windows works best on the primary drive - it likes to be in charge!<br><br>Phil Brown<br>WellingtonSC<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 11:56 AM, WEIR Andrew <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andrew.weir@thomascarr.vic.edu.au">andrew.weir@thomascarr.vic.edu.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

A little help, I have a machine that I has two hardrives in it. One with<br>
Ubuntu the other runs XP. The XP install is suffering random reboots and<br>
so I want to run a repair on it. However when I try to repair the<br>
installation it want's to write to the ubuntu drive which is the<br>
primary. Due to the fact that the primary drive is Linux and secondary<br>
is windows it does not allow me to repair the install.<br>
Any hints or tips on how to fix it as I really don't want to replace the<br>
Linux drive.<br>
<br>
My only thought so far is to remove the Linux hard drive from the<br>
machine reinstall windows on the other drive and rebuild grub.<br>
<br>
