The problem I am having is that windows will not hibernate when called<br>
from grub although it hibernates just fine if I change the boot order<br>
in the bios and boot directly to the windows disk.</blockquote><div><br>If these are on seperate disks you could add linux to the windows boot menu to solve this?<br><br>Under linux:<br><br># dd if=/dev/hda of=linux.bin bs=512 count=1<br>
<br>(replace /dev/hda with your apropriate HD, prob /dev/sda if I've read the above correctly.)<br><br>copy linux.bin to the root of your windows drive, then add the following to c:\boot.ini, which you can edit by right clicking on 'My Computer', selecting 'Properties', then the 'Advanced' tab, then 'Settings' in the 'Startup and Recovery' section at the bottom of that pane, then 'Edit'.<br>
<br>Add the following to the bottom of the file:<br><br>c:\linux.bin="Linux"<br><br>and change/add the 'timeout=' line to something apropriate (or save the file, then use the spinner control in the properties page to do the same.)<br>
<br>That /should/ allow you to boot your second HD from the windows menu (but then again it might not.)<br><br>I've only ever done this with a different partition on the same drive but it should work, and you shouldn't damage anything by trying.<br>
