Now that I have installed SuSE 9.0 on my new machine, I would like to see if I can boot into windows (Win2k) on the old hard disk. The disk is hdh. It is formatted NTFS and there are no partitions. What would I add to grub to make this disk/os an option to boot to when the machine starts.
Is there a way to autodetect this as a bootable option.
Here's mine. I have xp and 2000, hda1 and hda2 respectively.(from yast> system
bootloader config, edit config) ...

I'd try hd1,0 if yours is hdb. First try the reset option > reread from disk in yast2.
The reset option didn't detect my ntfs disk as bootable. The drive is listed as hdh. It is not partitioned, all NTFS.
Is there a way to mount this drive and view the contents?
Try hd9,0 ? How do you have a h? What system are you running this on. Did you try all of the reset options? To mount it you'll need to add a line in /etc/fstab. /dev/hdb5 /windows/shared vfat noauto,user 0 0. It's all one line and a space between the two last zeros. I'd try hdh1, and change vfat to ntfs. I don't have my ntfs partitions mounted in linux, because of the problems with writing to them from linux. -- E.F.Maurer Using SuSE 9.0 Pro
