There was some, and you answered.
Can someone tell me WHAT I need to change the menu.lst to make Windows Vista boot up again? I know I can "repair" it but that will wipe out the MBR that loads GRUB.
Again:
Two hard drives in system:
/dev/sda Windows /dev/sdb SuSE
SUSE bootblock on /dev/sda /boot on /dev/sdb1
Installed SuSE on 2nd drive, installer created "Windows 1" entry but it does not work.
Do not use YaST. The problem is one of scripts that is used by YaST, and any change via YaST will not work. You can see in one of bug reports that it goofed manual correction in the same way as original installation. So, start terminal from Main menu > System, switch to root user and start kwrite. If you are not sure how to do this, just ask. Open /boot/grub/menu.lst and edit windows section as Pete mentioned. The line to edit is probably now: rootnoverify (1,1) and it should be: rootnoverify (0,0) but as Pete said, it would be much easier if you post /boot/grub/menu.lst than you would be able to see change ion context of menu.lst . -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
