Hi folks! For some reason, Windoze has stopped booting on my system. I've had this machine for a couple years now, with WinXP sitting on a SATA physical drive and SUSE 10.0 - 10.2 on a separate IDE drive. I think the problem started when I got a portable USB drive that I had to turn off when rebooting (the BIOS would try to boot to it). I changed the BIOS so it would ignore the portable drive, boot to Grub (the IDE drive) first, then floppy, then CD. Now Grub loads fine, but selecting Windows from the menu displays the menu settings, and hangs. Here is the relevant portion of the Grub menu.lst: # Modified by YaST2.

Any ideas?
