Is that XP? If so, you should not need to remap the drives at all. Where was it originally installed? To the first partition on the second drive? (D: in Windows-speak). If so, then your Windows section should read:
rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader (hd1,0) +1
If it was installed to C: instead (which I presume is the first partition of the first drive), then this should read:
rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader (hd0,0) +1
You can add "makeactive" between the two lines if you wish, but unless you are also booting a DOS-like OS (eg. Win98), it is absolutely unnecessary to do so. XP (or 2K) should already have made the partition active when you installed that.
Darryl, If you're asking where Grub is installed, I'm not sure. XP is installed on its own physical drive, /dev/sda (aka hd1 in device.map). SUSE is installed on /dev/hda (aka hd0). Grub initially had just the plain rootnoverify and chainloader lines (and I think I've tried all the hd0 and hd0 permutations for those lines, and XP still won't boot. I did remove the makeactive line from menu.lst after your note, but that didn't make any difference. The fact that I get a second Grub window when I choose to boot XP might be a clue, perhaps. I was playing with all sorts of settings in YaST, and I'm starting to wonder whether I've got a copy of Grub on each physical drive. I'm not sure how I'd remove the copy on the NTFS drive, though. Thoughts appreciated.
