Hi All,
I'm new to Linux and I just got the Suse 9.0 install on my P4 which is triple boot(Win98, Win XP & Suse9.0). I just like to find out how do I configure the grub to boot my Win XP ? When ever I boot my PC the Grub menu will pop up and I had only (Linux, Win 98, Failsafe, Memory Test) option. So when I select the Win 98 option it will always start execute the boot.ini file and I will got the Win XP boot loader option which is (Window XP Pro & Microsoft Windows) option. How do I edit the grub.conf to show the Win XP option ? I can't boot my Win XP Pro from the Grub menu. I need to boot the Win 98 then only I can select either to boot Win98 or Win XP. I had a 80 gig harddisk with 4 partition which is :- /dev/hda1 -- Win98 /dev/hda2 -- WinXP /dev/hda3 -- Linux Swap /dev/hda4 -- Suse Linux. My question is how do I configure the Grub to boot from hda1, hda2 & hda3 ? The yast2 will only allow me to configure to boot the /dev/hda1 & /dev/hda3. How do I add the /dev/hda2 to grub ? Another question is I understand that Suse 9.0 had 5 cd, so I just able to install the first two cd and I'm
wondering how do I install the 3rd, 4th & 5th cd ? I understand that it is used for development purpose right but how to install it ? During the installation there is a menu that show how many percent of installation completed for each cd but it will only allow to install the 1st & 2nd CD. Do I need to manually install the 3rd, 4th & 5th CD ? Is there a option that allow me to continue the installation ?
All help r welcome.
Cheers.
