Bug with hide - [fork of "Still no success with boot to NT on hda2"] |

(I'll continue with the original topic elsewhere ...)
While trying to solve the original problem (booting NT from hda2) in
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 77545 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 208 104800+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 * 209 3256 1536192 6 FAT16
/dev/hda3 19791 19999 105336 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 20000 70000 25200504 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 20000 21056 532696+ 82 Linux swap
</snip>
, I tried all of the alternatives proposed in this list. One of them
being to hide (hd0,0). Which is what I did. After the 'boot' without
success ("This is not a bootable disk. ....."), grub however refused to
come back to me after hard reboot.
It indicated Error 17 at stage 1.5
I had to resort to boot-floppy. Unfortunately, the /boot (hda1) was
gone.
With a rescue, I found
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 208 104800+ 93 Amoeba
/dev/hda2 * 209 3256 1536192 6 FAT16
/dev/hda3 19791 19999 105336 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 20000 70000 25200504 5 Extended
</snip>
The 'hide' had converted hda1 into type 93 (Amoeba). Fortunately I
could revert to 83 with fdisk and reboot.
I have then tried to reproduce the fault and that effort was
successful.
A 'hide' of hda1 changes the type permanently to Amoeba. Which renders
hda unbootable.
