Think I am answering everyones questions bellow.
Windows installation is on the SCSI drive, the ide drive had at one time an OS, but it is just a "my documents" disk now.
My C drive for windows is /dev/sda1. I keep my boot fat so I can more easily get to it with boot drives, linux, old habbit I started back in windows NT days. more /etc/fstab users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0 /dev/sda3 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hdc1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0 /dev/sda1 /windows/D vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0 /dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 (removed the non relivant lines)
It is a 9 gig HD, strange that it show it being bigger, during the install it says it resized the window partian to 5 gigs df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 3.0G 2.3G 747M 76% / tmpfs 252M 12K 252M 1% /dev/shm /dev/hdc1 20G 13G 6.6G 66% /windows/C /dev/sda1 8.6G 3.4G 5.2G 40% /windows/D
When I set grub to boot off of hdc1 in yast(just in case), I ger the following, and nothing else, just sits there, "Chainloaer (# Chd 1,0)+1"
more /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/sda (hd3) /dev/sdc (hd1) /dev/hdc (hd2) /dev/sdb
I can access /windows/D (which is really the C:, and look over boot.ini and other files.
Partitioner shows: /dev/dhc 19.0gb Maxtor-5T020H2 0 2490 /dev/hdc1 19.0gb HPFS/NTFS /Windows/C 0 2490 /dev/sda 8.5gb SEAGATE-ST39204LW 0 1114 /dev/sda1 5.0 Win95 FAT32 LBA /windows/D 0 662 /dev/sda2 509.8mb Linux Swap swap 662 727 /dev/sda3 2.9gb Linux Native / 727 1114

GRUB is looking for your Windows installation at IDE hard drive 0 (the first drive primary hard disk on your system). The second 0 refers to the first partition on that drive. The +1 bit is correct. Now, is your Windows installation actually on this disk or is it on a SCSI disk or possibly elsewhere? From what you have said it sounds as though GRUB has picked up an old install that has only been partially removed.

This bit looks wrong: "Chainloaer (#
Chd 1,0)+1"
I'm assuming a typo for the word chainloader? Anyway, it also appears to be 'remarking' out part of the line that is relevant. Again, it may just be a typo. Try this entered exactly as it is here: title Windows rootnoverify (sd0,0) chainloader +1 -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.
