grub2 dual boot

I have two hdd's, one sata named sda and an old ide named hdb. It has happened that I had to install Windows on the latter, and this is what I had to do in order to configure dual boot.

touch /etc/grub.d/15_windows

chmod a+x /etc/grub.d/15_windows

Then edit that file as follows:

#! /bin/sh -e

echo "Adding Windows" >&2

cat << EOF

menuentry "Windows XP" {

set root=(hd1,1)

drivemap -s hd0 hd1

#drivemap (hd0) (hd1)

#drivemap (hd1) (hd0)

#set root=(hd0)

chainloader +1

}

EOF

Windows the great & "Insufficient system resources to complete the requested service" error while copying a file

Some people found out that turing off the antivirus can help. It didn't work for me, anyway. Not even by using xcopy or xcopy /Z as someone else suggested.

What I need to do is perform a local copy using ftp. If your source drive is an external hd, you may want to add that path to ftp and download it locally. You can find some info about that here.
