Dual booting from hard drive controller

[The O'Really Factor]

Okay, beforehand, I'm going to let you know what my system looks like right now as far as hard disks go.

Alright, on my motherboard I have 1 Parallel ATA controller. The CD-ROM drive is taking up the master port and my hard drive running debian is using the primary slave. And then this is where I'm confused: I have a second hard disk set as primary master on a 2 port PCI parallel ata controller. This hard drive has windows XP professional.

Now, what I need to do is set up GRUB to let Windows XP dual boot with Debian. I would appreciate it if someone with knowledge on how to do this could help me with my problem.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for your time,
Robert

Well I realized that I could change my cd drive over to the parallel ata card and make the linux drive master and the windows drive slave. so I did it. That kinda worked because it was recognizing that there was a drive at hd1,0. However, It still did not work properly because it did not recognize the File system, and when I tried to boot debian, it froze on the startup, and said something like: could not start APY: Job control turned off. I'm not sure if that's exactly what it said but that's close to what it was at least.

About the filesystem thing with my windows drive. I think it might be My grub entry for the windows boot up. which is:

title		Windows XP Professional
root		(hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader 	+1

Which I put in /boot/grub/menu.lst, which is the correct place right?

And these new problems that arose, which are the file system error and the linux boot up error, I'm hoping to find a solution to, so that I don't have to deal with booting off of the parallel ata card.

Does anyone know of a solution, or at least a cause for these two new problems?

Ok, so I solved my problems with the dual boot by plugging the CD-ROM into the parallel ata controller and it still works, but not to boot cds which won't be a problem, because I can always swap a few IDE cables, and I only plan on having one hard drive plugged in during a new install anyway.

I figured out that the linux boot up issue was caused by the grub entry. It seems that I forgot to set the location of the linux kernel from hdb1 to hda1.

And the Windows dual boot not recognizing the file system, I fixed by adding the following lines to my windows entry:

map		(hd0) (hd1)
map		(hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify	(hd1,0)

Thanks everyone for your silence. Had you actually said something, I wouldn't have had the motivation necessary to fix it on my own.
