Sorry, don't mean to "top post" but it's a short reply. OK, on http://www.antionline.con I wrote a tutorial for this very thing. It's installing Windows XP and SUSE Linux and dual booting. I go into detaila ll the way down to where to click the mouse and when, so it's pretty much step by step all the way through. I wrote it so that people could and would use SUSE even if they didn't want just SUSE on the HD. http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=260811&highlight=installing+suse http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=260583&highlight=installing+suse http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=260361&highlight=installing+suse http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=259335&highlight=installing+suse http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=258790&highlight=installing+suse Those are a few tutorials I've written on the subject, and one of them is how to do basic security in SUSE, and the first I posted is for dual booting. I don't think you have to be a member to read the links I posted but if you do it's free to sign up anyway, and then you can post and ask questions.

Sorry to bring up an often asked question, but I'm wondering about the best way to dual boot SUSE 9.1 and XP. I've previously used Redhat and Fedora (before Core 2) and in the past I've just installed GRUB/LILO to the MBR of my Windoze install. I'm a little wary concerning the issues that have been raised with dual booting the 2.6 kernel-based distributions and Windoze. Also my p4p800 doesn't have the option of LBA=enabled. I have two hard drives with Windoze on the first (80G primary)and I want SUSE on the second (20G slave). I tried installing GRUB to the MBR of hdb and then switching my boot order to make it first but it wouldn't boot that way. Any suggestions?
