   I'm wondering if Super Grub (or Grub for that matter) supports SATA   
   drives??? I have Ubuntu on my first SATA hard drive and Windows XP on my   
   second.  On my Grub boot list Windows is listed but will not boot.  I get   
   an Error 25. Doing an fdisk -l in the terminal shows the Windows drive as   
   /dev/sdb1 but I can't mount it from there (/dev/sdb1 not found) or boot   
   from it from Grub. If I plug the Windows drive into the SATA 0 port on the   
   motherboard Windows boots fine. Ubuntu boots fine if the drive it is on is   
   plugged into the SATA 0 port.   
      
   This is on a Dell Dimension 8400 which was the first of the Dell PCs to   
   use Serial ATA.  It has an Intel Serial ATA chipset.
