Thinkpads Forum

Currently I am trying to set up my r31 to dualboot from the bios, with an 80gig drive with ubuntu in the regular hard drive slot and for the ultrabay caddy I have a 20gig windows xp parition. WHen I boot up with both hard drives and fit F12 I only get one option for hard drive booting and I cant select my windows partion to boot into, but when I check the biox for the boot, it shows two hard drives, but with the same ID, the 80gig seagate hard drive I have.

In ubuntu I can see the second hard drive and it is idntified correctly

Is there anything I need to do so I can select the correct hard drive? I can take out my main hard drive and the thinkpad will boot into windows from the ultrabay

any ideas?

still having this issue, which ever hard drive is in the main caddy, it reads double with the same model name so when I hit F12 it doesnt let me choose between which hard drive to boot up with. I have windows xp in the ultrabay caddy and the only way to boot into windows is to remove the hard drive from the main caddy and it allows me to boot into windows, from the bios the hard drive is correctly identified.

I've tried using a jumper on both hard drive and still nothing.
Also in linux, it correctly reads the second windows drive and I have full write and read access with no issues.

If anything I probably need to modifiy grub...but rather not
