My laptop only boots from sda, so grub is there.
It looks like this:
sda: grub in the MBR, entire hdd used for XP
sdb: Debian
I re-visited my menu.lst and here's a detail that is probably important. The
Debian Lenny kernels have borked firewire support so I roll my own kernels,
which always end up under the default Debian kernels. Grub is set up to boot
the 'saved' kernel, which I set with `grub-set-default n` where n is the
position of my kernel in the list. With XP SP2 this was always left alone.
But now when I boot SP3, it looks like the saved kernel is reset.
I'll bet your menu.lst file says something like `default 0` or some-such. If
you change it to `default saved`, boot XP SP3 and then reboot, does it come
up with Windows as the default?
