I just installed RHEL 6.4 onto a second hard drive and am trying to use EasyBCD 2.2/Neogrub to dual boot it from the Windows 7 bootmanager.
For some reason, Neogrub refuses to recognize the ext4 partition that holds the RHEL installation. It is installed on /dev/sdb3, which I believe should equate to (hd1,2). However, when the boot fails and I get to the grub command prompt, when I type "root (hd1,2)" it returns "Error 22: No Such Partition". If I use the EasyBCD 2.2 program, click "Add New Entry", and select the Linux/BSD tab, the Drive: dropdown shows the partition I wish to boot from as "Drive1, Partition 3, (0x28 - 1444 GiB). I have also installed Extfs under Windows 7, and I can see the RHEL installation files in the partition. So the ext4 partition is clearly there - but Neogrub seems unable to recognize it.
I have played around with this for hours to no avail, and have read dozens of web postings about similar problems, but have been unable to identify a solution. So any help you might be able to offer would be much appreciated.
