Howto get 44 logical partitions out of a SCSI/SATA/PATA/USB disk

[teeitup]

I meant to reply to the "Booting Tips" post. Reference in this reply are to that Thread" Sorry.

I need some help in booting on partitions that are beyond the BIOS boundry.

Grub works fine. Dual boot with XP and first Linux install works just fine.

The disk is 320GB replacing an 80GB.

In the left over space at the backend of the drive I installed Ubuntu. Nothing would boot after the install. Error 18 I think. I fixed grub and was able to get the original partitions to boot using (hd0,5). I can't get the new install to boot (hd0,8). It's sda9 and after fixing grub, adding the entries for the Ubuntu, I get an error that it can't read the file due to being out of the BIOS range.

I thought that post #3 Task G was going to help me. I'm not seeing it.

I need someone to point me in the right direction to help boot partitions in the upper ranges of a very large disk.

Thanks,
