But now I discover the following:
1. If I leave the Windows drive /out/ of the BIOS order and leave the SUSE drive /in/ the BIOS order, the Windows drive appears in the GRUB splash screen but will not boot.
2. If I leave the SUSE drive /out/ of the BIOS order /entirely/ and leave the Windows drive /in/ the BIOS order, the same GRUB splash screen appears, and everything will boot.
It sounds as though the SUSE install wrote the MBR to the Windows drive and the SUSE drive.
Or that grub and Linux ignores the bios (they always did, mostly).
Is this correct? If so, this really ticks me off.
You can find out.
Download this script:
<https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript/raw/master/bootinfoscript>
and run it. It will extract lots of information about your boot system and partitions, including how and where boot sequence is set up.
Holy S^%&, where did you get this thing? It is very impressive! Yes, just as I suspected, the SUSE installer put grub on the Windows disk! I would certainly like to take that off and return the Windows disk to its previous state and simply put the four lines of code into grub.cfg on the SuSE disk that do the mapping thing that make Windows think it's the first disk. -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
