grub entry to boot Win2k on hdh1
Now that I have installed SuSE 9.0 on my new machine, I would like to see if I can boot into windows (Win2k) on the old hard disk. The disk is hdh. It is formatted NTFS and there are no partitions. What would I add to grub to make this disk/os an option to boot to when the machine starts. Is there a way to autodetect this as a bootable option. Thanks, -=Thinker

Here's mine. I have xp and 2000, hda1 and hda2 respectively.(from yast> system title Windows root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 I'd try hd1,0 if yours is hdb. First try the reset option > reread from disk in yast2. HTH -- E.F.Maurer Using SuSE 9.0 Pro

The reset option didn't detect my ntfs disk as bootable. The drive is listed as hdh. It is not partitioned, all NTFS. Is there a way to mount this drive and view the contents?

Try hd9,0 ? How do you have a h? What system are you running this on. Did you try all of the reset options? To mount it you'll need to add a line in /etc/fstab. /dev/hdb5 /windows/shared vfat noauto,user 0 0. It's all one line and a space between the two last zeros. I'd try hdh1, and change vfat to ntfs. I don't have my ntfs partitions mounted in linux, because of the problems with writing to them from linux. -- E.F.Maurer Using SuSE 9.0 Pro

I would try and change the above to read hd7,0 if indeed your disk is hdh If your disk was hdb, you can have grub try and map the drives so that Windows thinks that it is on the first hard drive but since this disk is further along on the chain, I do not know if that will work.

Try "mount -t ntfs /dev/hdh1 /mnt" as root and see if you can see the contents. Remove the quotes. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the answers to make the impossible, possible."

Ok here is mine on a 2 drive setup and XP on 2nd drive............... title Windows XP Home hdg1 root (hd1,0) map (0x80) (0x81) map (0x81) (0x80) makeactive chainloader +1 ******************************** Here Win 98 on first drive......... title Windows 98 SE hde1 root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 # Please note the differences on HD-1 & HD-2 This is important Adjust for your setup When you install and all drives are present the installer should take care of this...at least in MDK not sure about Suse. After install I usually go to menu.lst and fix what is not correct. Enjoy -- Johan May this be a good day for learning Registered Linux User #330034 - still learning
