You could use Windows boot loader to point to grub, for example. It would give you a menu in Windows boot to pick Windows or Debian. Have not done that in years.Damon L.

You can do that IF you have a boot loader on the MBR pointing to grub.Now I am confused. Isn't grub a boot loader? Why would I need another boot loader pointing to grub? I want to put grub on the MBR of both hard drives from which my raid1 array consist of.
grub-install /dev/md0 should install (as fas as I understand it) a copy of grub in each hdd from which the raid1 consist of (note: the partitions from both hard drives included in md0 are both 512 MB and starting from the beginning of the hard drives).
Ivan,I looked quickly on google and so far articles I see refer to installing grub onto the 2nd HD using the grub command. I will go back and look at the howto you posted and see if they say anything different. I am NOT the raid/grub master and sure not the final word on the subject.
Cheers,Ivan
