Since my post earlier in the day, I have restored the grub menu at boot by rewriting the master boot record using the bootloader tool in yast. I can now boot into 11.1 but not into windows 7. I read posts on the difficulties of dual booting vista and edited the menu.lst file as suggested in these posts. The windows section of the menu.lst file now read:
title Windows 7 Ultimate rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader (hd0,0)+1
When I attempt to boot to windows from the grub boot menu the screen goes blank for a few seconds and then returns to the grub boot menu. The only change being one time it is the green boot menu and the next a winter scene boot menu.
I have been unable to locate any other suggestions on how to get this up an running. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this?
Many times the only problem stems from using more than one partitioning tool on the disk. I suggest starting with a clean disk, and using one and only one partitioning tool to completely partition prior to installing anything.
One thing I usually remember to do prior to beginning an install of Windows is to set its primary active prior to beginning install, to reduce its inclination to touch any more than it actually needs to during its installation.
Another useful thing to do, is create a FAT32 partition and move the Windows "My Documents" folder to it. This makes it easier to work on data from either OS. I've done this with XP. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
