Redo mbr

[gezza]

Hi to all,
'redo mbr' does not work in RC1 or 2013.02.
I have put an IDE drive with window 7-64 in the system.
Re run 'redo mbr' and it does not see the windows drive.
Has anyone seen the problem?
The system has been rebooted many times.

Are the rest of the drives in that computer IDE? Did you remember to set the drive properly as master/slave, whichever it now is in this system?

Hi Old-Polack,
One this system, drive1---IDE, drive 2 and 3 Sata2.
On my brothers laptop drive 1 probably sata, drive2 probably sata.
On neither of these machines is win7-64 seen by redo mbr
Only is the pclinuxos partition shown.
At this time, I must setup the bios to boot win7.
Laptops do not seem to have that facility available.
Is it necessary to have anything else installed to get redo mbr to work?

Is the drive correctly recognized in the BIOS and in your PCLinuxOS installation?

If the drive is correctly recognized, you can chainload it to your main GRUB.
With the drive connected and working, post the output of the command fdisk -l as root.
