I posted here a couple of weeks ago about dual booting 11.1 and Windows 7. I am still unable to boot into the Win7 partition from grub. I have googled extensively with no success. The faq on the Grub site is way outdated and still discusses issues with RH7 and using drives larger than 8G. Has anyone had success dual booting openSUSE 11.1 and Windows 7. If not, would anyone be interested in helping me figure this one out? I have set up SuSE machines to dual boot into Windows since SuSE 6.1 and Windows 95 but am stumped on this one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You got couple of answers: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2009-01/msg03415.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2009-01/msg03484.html Reading previous posts: ***

You can copy console output, it saves typing and typos /dev/sdd1 and arguement. Just highlight text as any other, go to email client, position cursor where you want to copy text and press middle button (scroll wheel, or both left and right button at the same time), and your console text will appear in email. According to the few posts in the Internet, your Windows partition is damaged. It happened after boot loader was installed in MBR, so try to fix it using rescue console on Windows 7 disk. I guess that command is 'fixmbr' or 'fixboot', and then reinstall GRUB. If it happens the same problem again please file bug report. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
