Right and I posted a week ago and got no response...
Can someone tell me WHAT I need to change the menu.lst to make Windows Vista boot up again? I know I can "repair" it but that will wipe out the MBR that loads GRUB.
Again:
Two hard drives in system:
/dev/sda Windows /dev/sdb SuSE
SUSE bootblock on /dev/sda /boot on /dev/sdb1
Installed SuSE on 2nd drive, installer created "Windows 1" entry but it does not work.
Could you post your /boot/grub/menu.lst please? The best way to find out is to boot to grub, press escape to leave the 'graphical' menu. then highlight the windows line. Press 'e' to edit it , changing the drive number in the 'rootnoverify' and 'chainloader' lines to suit, then hit 'b' to boot that modified entry. If it fails, you can easily try again. Here's my Windows entry: ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows### title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,5) chainloader (hd0,0)+1 Note that grub doesn't use the linux standard for referring to hard disks (the /dev/ directory doesn't exist at this point, just disks exposed by the BIOS). I suspect you can use something like: ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows### title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader (hd0,0)+1 but just try it and see what works for you. Bear in mind that Windows historically prefers to be the only OS on a system.
