Hello Bug-Grub,
I'm not a super Grub user but I have one big issue with
Grub I was hoping someone would help me out with.
First of all, why does the hide command just increase your partition type by 10? For
example if you had a partition type of 83, issuing: hide (hd0,1) would turn it into a
type 93 partition. A type 5 extended partition would be changed to a type 15 partition.
Secondly, how do you hide a partition from Windows XP? I've found that Windows XP will
not assign partitions drive letters during setup if they're set to a specific type.
Example: settype (hd0,1) 0xDE will prevent the Windows XP setup from assigning your
first partition as C: where as: hide (hd0,1) will not do this successfully. I've
hidden partitions in the past using Partition Magic, Randish Partition Manager and
XOSL which have successfully worked in this circumstance.
Sincerely,
Rob Elm
