Ok in my annual fight with linux I attemepted to install RH8.0 on my main rig. I normally run Win2k from 2 40 gig hard drives set up as RAID 0 on a Promise Fasttrak card, formatted as NTFS. To install RH8, I just popped a 3 gig drive onto the Promise card and went through the standard install process. RH saw the 3 gig drive, but did not see the 80 gig RAID. I installed onto the 3 gig pretty much accepting the default settings. Everything seemed to go fine.
When I boot up, GRUB appears but only has the option of running Linux. If I take the 3 gig drive out, the machine will no longer boot; it hangs on a GRUB error. I'd like to be able to boot into Win2k somehow. I'd like to be able to get the data off the drive rather than just reformatting and reinstalling. None of the data is irreplaceable, but it would take a long time to put back together.
suggestions?
