Hi, to dual or multiboot windows with linux, I use this procedure. Windows should be installed on the first primary partition of the harddrive, assuming you have only one hard drive.
Well, as I said, I couldn't find my xp install disks at first, so I installed suse so I'd have something. Now suse / is on partition 1 and xp is on partition 2. After that comes the extended partition containing space for 4 more linux-style distributions (quantian and qnx at least; maybe Hard Hat linux to see what it'll do).
It doesn't matter which operating system you installed first, it matters where you put them. Windows wants to be on the first primary partition. Something doesn't sound right about your partitioning scheme. Is your Suse root installed on one primary partition, with home and swap on the other primary partions? You can only have four primary partitions, one of which may be designated as an extended partition. If you have windows on one partition, one empty extended partition, you have two partitions left. If suse is on one of them, you are short one partition to make it work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
