Need GRUB unhide/hide help

[Anthony Ewell]

Hi All,

If I were to use the "hide" command to keep XP
(title eXPensive) from seeing other parts of the
hard drive, do I need to use the "unhide" command
when I boot to the other partitions? Or do all the
hides reset after each reboot?

In other words, if I do:

title eXPensive
hide (hd0,0)
hide (hd0,1)
hide (hd0,3)
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
chainloader +1

(I am presuming that "hide (hd0,3)" will hide my entire
extended partition.)

Will I also have to do?:

title White Box Enterprise Linux (2.4.21-15.ELsmp)
unhide (hd0,0)
unhide (hd0,1)
unhide (hd0,3)
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-15.ELsmp ro \
root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-15.ELsmp.img


Many thanks,
--Tony
