Thread: Grub can't boot win's on other MBR drive from GPT drive

-

hi guys,

i'm having problem here.
laptop has 2 internal hdd's (500gb each),
, grub can't boot operating systems other harddrive.

before problem showed up, had "no such device..." error,
, fixed this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...b2/+bug/604743
errors different, , still can't boot windows grub

i'll write things short, believe it's easier understand mean.

hdd0: mbr partition table:
os: windows 7 , windows xp embedded
hdd1: guid partition table:
os: ubuntu lucid, mac os x snow leopard , leopard

when boot hdd0, windows 7 boots fine.
means nothing wrong windows 7 believe
windows xp fine too, can't test that.

when boot hdd1, grub2 pops every os have.
operating systems on hdd1 boot fine,
when try boot win7, laptop instantly reboots.
, when try boot winxp, error:
windows not start because following file missing or corrupt:
<windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
please re-install copy of above file
what i've tried far:
- checked if hal.dll exists, does.
- replaced hal.dll file, nothing happened.
- fixed mbr of winxp partition, nothing happened.

since windows 7 boots fine without grub,
think it's grub2 bug.

has experienced problem before?
can me this?

yes:

grub_preload_modules="part_msdos" meierfra.

i have id (primary key) set bigint in sql server. have query following: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#url.id#"> i got invalid data type it. tried: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_bigint" value="#url.id#"> i still got invalid data type it. tried: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_int" value="#url.id#"> and worked. the weird thing cf_sql_int not listed being accepted: http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/coldfusion/5.0/cfml_reference/tags79.htm can explain me. > whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_bigint" value="#url.id#"> what value of #url.id#? had no problems either using cf8. > weird thing cf_sql_int not listed being accepted: iirc, when pass in invalid sql type cf uses default: cf_sql_char, accepts anything. ms sql implicit convert() right type , why works.
