This is what my laptop has:

[root at ancho ~]# cat /etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,2)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
# show us the menu!
# hiddenmenu
# removed from kernel line: rhgb quiet
title Fedora Core (2.6.16-1.2080_FC5)
        root (hd0,2)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
        initrd /initrd-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5.img title Fedora Core
(2.6.15-1.2054_FC5)
        root (hd0,2)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
        initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img title

        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

In your case you want to change that second to last line to
(rootnoverify(hdX,0)) to indicate the correct disk for booting ms.

In the grub.conf file above, doe's it show where you have two hard drives in
your laptop?  This is where I need to understand which parameter to change.


Thanks for your feedback.
