Thanks Steve for your suggestion... Eventually I will delete this old XP partition but first I need to recover many files from it an move them over to the new XP partition. This old XP partition seems to be readable, just not bootable. So I want to hang on to it long enough to accomplish that first..
Let me check if I understood correctly ... you have now a master disk with suse and a slave disk with XP, and you want to boot with grub, if so ... is simply as map the secondary device as a primary device, so windows will think it's on the first disk. For instance: title Windows map (hd1) (hd0) map (hd0) (hd1) rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader (hd1,0)+1 where hd1 is the slave (XP device) disk and hd0 the suse disk. hope it helps -- Kind Regards Visitá/Go to >> http://www.opensuse.org
