I'm having a problem with a setup using 2 hard drives. hda is XP, hdb is Suse 10.0. If both drives are connected, something is telling the bios that there are NO hard drives connected. If I disconnect hdb, I get a message that the primary hard drive has been detected. Then when the system tries to boot I get a grub failure error. I really don't need Linux on that machine. How can I get the machine to boot into XP without the grub boot error, with the second drive disconnected? I am also having trouble with the CD player on that machine, so it's problematical if I can boot off a CD. (I don't have any kind of backup disk for XP, as far as I remember.) I could have done this with an old Windows, with fdisk mbr, off of a floppy, but I don't know what XP wants.
Have you tried switching the order the drives are listed in the bios? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
