How your hard drives are set up would be helpful. What drive (HD and CD etc.) on what channel/id (IDE/SCSI)? What partitions are on the drives?

/dev/sda1 =win(ntfs)
/dev/sda2=boot
/dev/sda3=swap
/dev/sda4=root
dev/hda= 60 gigs of ramdom junk(ntfs)
/dev/hdb=2gigs of random junk |

Have you looked at the GRUB manual and GRUB FAQ? There are links to them in https://forums.gentoo.org/faq.php#9.

root(hdx,y) should point to your /boot partition. I'm not sure if IDE or SCSI takes precendence (probably whichever is on the motherboard). Since your /boot partition is /dev/sda2, I'd think the root command should either be:orroot(hd0,0) would refer to the first partition on either /dev/hda or /dev/sda

This was a topic I was hoping was going to get picked up from the GRUB manual:
| Quote: | | Normally, any IDE drive number is less than any SCSI drive number, although that is not true if you change the boot sequence by swapping IDE and SCSI drives in your BIOS. |

If (hd0,0) keeps saying there is a ntfs partition, then it should simply be (hd0,1).
First disk = 0
First partition = 0 = /dev/sda1 =win(ntfs)
So: second partiton = 1 = /dev/sda2 =boot

Except he has 2 ntfs partitions. /dev/sda1 and /dev/hda
