I have Win XP Pro in my machine. Then I added separate hard disk and installed Suse 9.1 on it. When booting (like set in BIOS) from old Win hard disk, Win starts normally. When booting from new hard disk, I can choose from GRUB menu Win and Linux. When choosing Linux, Linux starts normally. When choosing Win, message appears: root (hd1,0) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7 chainloader +1 I probably have to change smth in conf files, but what? :) Conf files are below. /boot/grub/menu.lst default 0 timeout 8 gfxmenu (hd0,1)/boot/message title Linux kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x31a splash=silent desktop resume=/dev/hda1 showopts initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows### title Windows root (hd1,0) chainloader +1 failsafe### title Failsafe kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off vga=normal noresume nosmp noapic maxcpus$ initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd device.map (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/hdb (fd0) /dev/fd0 grub.conf root (hd0,1) install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,1)/boot/grub/menu.lst quit

I tried this driver updating. First time I missed entering this boot option fixpart=1 and then I ended up in repairing system and I managed to get rid of Windows choice in GRUB :) But I got it back and then did this update like it was written. But partitons aren't broken, it says they should be OK. So no help form this...

Well, actually Windows choice came back to GRUB list, but when booting from old Windows drive (Win started there normally before) I get somekind GNU GRUB ver 0.94, command-line version... And I can't do anything with that...

In that case, perhaps you need to experiment with the BIOS settings for the drive. Was the drive set to LBA, for instance, and then changed to Auto or something else before/during/after the SUSE istall? Or vice versa? -- Pob hwyl (Best wishes) Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rhydd yn Gymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD!

This seems to work :) Although I don't understand the idea of all this.
Windows need to boot from a first BIOS drive. as you have placed it on a second, grub needs to remap drives, so at windows point of view it starts from first drive :) info grub Cheers Sunny -- Get Firefox http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=10745&t=85
