3 HD's; where to put boot file?

Post by Fishy »

I have used Puppy for a long time with Windows as a ugly back-up with no issues. I now have Windows on SDA1, F96-CE on SDB1 and now Mint Linux on SDC1. I used grub4dos which located all distro's and installed the info for booting on the puppy drive.

When booting my old box Puppy is found, Windows is found. Both boot normally. When I hit Mint the kernel is not found. WHERE should I put the boot info or do I have to use grub for booting? Puppy is fantastic but sometimes the other two are are required (wife wants windows).
Presently down-loading F96-CE2.

Equipment is old like me. AMD dual core and4 gigs of ram.

My thanks to the community for all their effort! :thumbup:

Mint menu entry is probably not correct to actually boot it.

The boot menu entries are in the file menu.lst

Open menu.lst file in a text editor.

Find the entry for Mint

Copy and paste this entry in a post so we can see it.

What version of Mint?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

This is not what I expected :o
