How does this relate to the subject, 'GRUB'? Apparently, you have
Mandrake 7.2 running so the subject isn't 'GRUB'; it's "drive access
from a working LM7.2".
That aside, ---Most likely, with two hard drives, if you have Windows,
it's on hda1 and LM7.2 is on a second HD alhough it could just as well
be on the same HD as Windows but on a separate partition. Regardless,
you have to know the partition. You did make a note of it during
installaltion, didn't you?
We'll test to see if you can access the Windows HD from LM7.2 . We'll
do all
the work in terminal mode, not by clicking on icons.
Run LM7.2 as root, then do these commands
cd
mkdir winx
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/winx
cd /mnt/winx
ls -aF --color=auto
You should see the contents of your Windows partition.
After perusing Windows, execute these commands
cd
umount /mnt/winx
rmdir /mnt/winx
If you like the way these worked, you can create aliases that use
these commands so you could look at Windows with just a
simple command such as 'win+' and restore back to linux
with 'win-'
Now to look at any Linux partition, we'll use hdb3 as an example
cd
mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb3 /mnt/hdb3
cd /mnt/hdb3
ls -aF --color=auto
You should now be able to navigate through hdb3.
get back with these commands
cd
umount /mnt/hdb3
CDROMs?
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom
ls -aF --color=auto
to dismount
cd
umount /mnt/cdrom
You have a 2nd CDROM?
call it cdrom2 in the above example
Oh yes, click icons? try clicking /dev/xxx
