Option 1: follow instructions in my Wed, 03 Mar 2010 09:05:28 -0500 thread post for making Windows the primary boot loader, except substitute /dev/sda5 for /dev/sda3.
Option 2: install Grub to /dev/sda3 (extended) (I never do this myself, so pass on offering instructions)
Option 3: install Grub to MBR (/dev/sda) (I never do this myself, so pass on offering instructions)
Option 4: a) delete new sda5 b) create new sda4 in its place c) mkfs sda4 d) cp -a, rsync, or etc. the old sda5 to new sda4 e) install Grub to sda4 f) set sda4 active/bootable g) adjust /etc/fstab for relocated /boot
Option 5: a) shrink sda2 by 1 cyl at end or sda5 by 1 cyl at start b) install IBM Boot Manager to sda4 c) set sda4 active/bootable
Option 6&: install some other boot manager to sda4, sdb, or sda boot track
Why sda4? Since sda3 is extended, fdisk will not create sda4. What's wrong with sda5? It's not part of the LVM and worked fine before. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
