OS not found resolved

[passenger237]

I've just put slacko 64 6.3.2 onto sba1 and have xenial puppy on sdb1.

Yet when I go to install grub it is not finding sdb1 therefore naturally not including it in the menu.

If I knew the uuid number I'd edit the menu.lst to insert the three required lines, merely changing (hd0,0) for (hd1,0) and the uuid number.

So how do I go about finding the uuid number for the sdb drive? And is that all I'd need to do?

System runs an i3, x64, 4 G ram, sda is 1T, sdb is 2T.

Hi passenger237,

I don't know much about GRUB.

Slacko Menu - Application/System/Gparted

If you run Gparted, you can find the uuid.
Make sure you select 'scan all disk' at startup.
Select disk you want then
Either
menu/partition/information
or
right click/information

HTH.

While you're in GParted, check to make sure that sdb1 is flagged for boot.
If not, I don't think grub4dos will see any OS on it.
