The installation was very easy and everything works well.... But now I can't start my Windows OS from the Bootmanager... As I choose windows to start, the boot process is abort and start from the beginning so that I am get back to the boot manager. When I choose windows I get the opportunities to start windows in SAVE mode, but I does not work as well. Please, please help me.... I do not want to think bad of linux, by unable my Windows OS.

Let me ask some questions, did you try to boot Windows after resizing you Windows partition and was it succesful? What tool did you use to reduce size of your Windows partition?

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216534 ------- Comment #5 from chrubis@novell.com 2006-10-31 06:47 MST ------- There are two possilbe situations: a) installer didn't generates correct grub config file b) partition resizer corupted you partition ( It can be caused by some other problems but these two are likelier than other. ) You can verify state of you windows partition from SuSE linux. If you are capable to mount it and go trough its folders without strange behaviour then it's probably ok. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216534 ------- Comment #6 from piallo@web.de 2006-10-31 07:00 MST ------- At first I note my mounted devices: 1.) Windows NTFS 170GB 2.) Extended 75GB 3.) transfer FAT 5GB 4.) swap swap 2GB 5.) / reiser 20GB 6.) /home reiser 48GB The Linux ("Explorer") Konqueror was able to advertise the windows partition and its data, but I wasn't able to open .jpg for example. So is it ok? What a correct grub config file look like?

1.) Windows NTFS 170GB 2.) Extended 75GB 3.) transfer FAT 5GB 4.) swap swap 2GB 5.) / reiser 20GB 6.) /home reiser 48GB looks correct
The Linux ("Explorer") Konqueror was able to advertise the windows partition and its data, but I wasn't able to open .jpg for example. So is it ok? You should test it more but it sounds bad...
What a correct grub config file look like? You can read this small how to http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4622

What should I test? Just open files, moving files etc... or something special? isn't it normal that I cann't open files from my windows partition? I mean because of the partition types (NTFS vs. reiser) Thanks a lot, I try to save what is to save (just a little black (windows) humor Patrick -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

isn't it normal that I cann't open files from my windows partition? I mean because of the partition types (NTFS vs. reiser) Filesystem can't affect structure of files so you should be able to work with any filesystem whitch is supported.
Thanks a lot, I try to save what is to save (just a little black (windows) humor lol
