This totally sucks!!. It means that my Windows disk is dependent on the existence of the SuSE disk. If I pull the SuSE disk out, and try to boot the Windows disk, grub in the Windows MBR looks for the Windows disk as sdb when it now the /first/ drive in the system!
Not exactly. Grub, installed in the first disk (using the MBR sector, and some hidden sectors on the first track) has inside coded to transfer control to the boot partition of the second disk. Missing this disk, nothing can boot. Missing the first disk, same thing. Changing the disks ordering, problem. That is, grub is half on one disk, half on the other.
Does anyone know how I can fix the MBR in the Windows disk and restore it to what it was and then go back and clean up grub.cfg in SuSE?
See my previous post. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
