place this harddisk back in desktop and check if GRUB throws error there too.

Programs works great on the Desktop, no errors at all. I originally installed win 2000 and then suse 10.1 on desktop. dual boot. both fire up on desktop with no problems. neither boot up on laptop. I have another hard drive w win 2000 only and it boots up fine on this laptop. Thanks

you can execute fdisk -l command using any LiveCD too.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

As per original post, I only have USB CD and bios does not support booting from USB, I have since bought a Floppy drive, even made a floppy for puppy 2 that is supposed to boot and then try to find puppy even on USB, That worked slightly, it found USB, found puppy, then halfway through couldn't find files it needed on puppy CD to finish loading. I may have to buy a CD drive for this laptop, but takes a special cable that is somewhat expensive, just trying to take the challenge and figure it out. I'm sure there are many out there with the same problem.
