Hi, there was a previous thread that I read about a month ago where someone had installed Suse first, then windows. After that they couldn't get Suse to boot. I just rebuilt my 10 year old desktop with a new MB and CPU, and installed Suse first on an extended partition, then Windows. After the window install, Grub didn't show up and Suse wouldn't boot. I reread the thread I mentioned above, but didn't find clear directions as to how to resolve the problem. After a little research, I found out how to fix the problem, so here is how I got it to boot. I used gparted, available here: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php I booted from the gparted disk, then when its desktop came up, I opened up a terminal by clicking on the terminal icon on the desktop. Then I typed the following commands: YouType: grub Terminal: grub> YouType: find /boot/grub/menu.lst Terminal: (hd0,5) "or different, depending on your set up, so replace the numbers to reflect your installation." YouType: root (hd0,5) Terminal: filesystem is ext3fs, partiontype 0x83 YouType: setup (hd0) "I did this because I was setting up grub in the MBR, change this to reflect you preference of where you want grub to live." Terminal: Checking...Succeeded...Done YouType: quit reboot My grub already had an entry for windows because I had partitioned my first primary drive and formatted it to NTSF before I installed any operating systems. So I was able to boot windows after reboot. If you don't have a windows entry in grub, then place one like this: Start menu>Applications>System>FileManager>FileManagerSuperUserMode>boot> /boot/grub>/boot/grub/menu.lst Once the grub menu is open, then add this entry to the list making sure to place the root location of Window in the partition where windows is located: ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows### title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 Save the changes to the grub file, and you should be good to go after this. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
