Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!<br><br>Black Friday fallout...<br><br>I have a working, dual-boot Ubuntu 8.10 and Vista64 setup. Vista resides on an internal hard drive and Linux is on a partition on an external USB Drive. I have yet another external USB drive. If it is plugged in at startup, I get an "error 22". No finagling with the BIOS has any effect. The drive works when plugged in after startup.<br>
<br>According to this helpful post: <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=594657&page=2">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=594657&page=2</a> , it seems that the problem is a re-assigning of drive names at start up. My menu.lst is below...<br>

Do I need to do the same with the Windows entries? If so, what will the root line look like? If not, what can I do? I know it is not life or death to have to plug/unplug a drive, but in my setup, it is sort of a pain.<br>
