What disk identifier > did he change, and where did he make the change? After installing the new drive: 1. Restored to "factory" with the restore DVDs 2. Removed Windows partition and used dd to bring over original 3. Booted Windows and used the Windows partition tool to resize to desired size and then ran chkdsk 4. Created extended partion 5. Created new swap 6. Used GParted to copy & resize 7. Enabled grub to enable booting into Linux. Until I did this, I was able to boot directly into Windows. Incidentally, I seem to recall device by ID originally used in configuring grub, but that no longer appears. It just shows /dev/sda2. As I mentioned, I updated fstab and device.map to the new drive ID. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
