For openSuSE the grub settings work just fine. For Windows Vista Yast2 created the following settings in /boot/grub/menu.lst: ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows 1### title windows 1 rootnoverify (hd1,2) chainloader (hd0,1)+1 ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows 2### title windows 2 rootnoverify (hd1,2) chainloader (hd0,2)+1 ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows 3### title windows 3 rootnoverify (hd1,2) chainloader (hd1,0)+1 But none of this entries allow grub to load Windows Vista!

Current workaround: The only way to boot Windows Vista is to restore the original Vista mbr. Since Windows Vista was preinstalled on the notebook by Toshiba the system may use an unusual Vista bootloader configuration.
