Most of modern operating systems don't require their partition to be active for booting - here I'm not sure about Windows95, as it is already rather ancient and I don't remember where exactly this was changed. To boot your windows I suggest - changing the windows section to: title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 which assures the active flag is moved to Windows partition. However, you also need to assure that GRUB is installed to MBR, otherwise next time Windows will be loaded directly. There is no universal solution - some versions of Windows put their stuff to MBR which is not good to be overwritten, some need active partition which forces you to overwrite it. I think that fitting with more recent Windows in the default configuration is more important. Please, let me know if the suggested fix works for you. PS: We do not support installation to extended partition - we require a primary partition for bootloader. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
