Please recall that I'm trying to boot my Windows disk from grub. SuSE boots fine, but a section in grub2/grub.cfg for Windows that does not boot Windows. Windows boots fine if I change the BIOS drive order. OK, so I look on-line and I see that for /grub/menu.lst... <snipped>
Hi Tony Felix already answered this question "Belongs to Grub Legacy."
But my question is... might there be a difference for the configuration used for /grub2/grub.cfg ?
That's the whole point. grub /= grub2. The configurations don't intermingle and you can accomplish what you want with grub2. You said your preference would be to first fix the Windows MBR. This is where you need to start ... get Windows booting so the grub2 installer will 'see' and incorporate it into the boot menu that it creates. FYI, I just had to do this exact procedure after migrating my Windows and openSUSE and Linux Mint installations to SSD. Note: This example is what worked with my Vista64 installation. I'm thinking it probably hasn't changed a great deal, but you'll want to check and revise these instructions, as needed, for your specific installation. Boot the Windows installation media, get to the repair tools and a command line. Invoke: X:SOURCES> bootrec /FixMbr X:SOURCES> bootrec /FixBoot Reboot and test to confirm that Windows boots successfully. Rinse, research and repeat as necessary to get Windows booting successfully. Then, and only then ... Reboot the openSUSE DVD, select 'rescue mode' and log in as root (no password needed) Note: In this example, /dev/sda6 is Linux '/' and /dev/sda specifies the device where the bootloader will be installed. Adjust accordingly. #> mount /dev/sda6 /mnt #> mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev #> mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc #> mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys #> chroot /mnt $> grub2-install /dev/sda $> grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg This last command finds the installed operating systems and creates the boot menu entries for them. hth, ymmv, but good luck & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
