Grub question/help?

Hello,

I had a working Dualboot using Grub to boot Suse10 & WinXp but today for some reason xp would not let me shutdown and I was forced to coldboot. Now won't boot into xp but Suse is still working.

I am a Newbe with Suse10 but am starting to get the feel for it; however still need windows and am asking for advice on how to reset Grub. When I tried to re-install Grub, WinXp was not listed so I tried to add it as "/dev/hda" that shows up next boot time but WinXp does not boot. I can see files for WinXp from Suse so they are still their. :roll:

Thanks for the continued support here in advance :?

the proper boot entry for windows on the first partition of the first drive is this:

Code:

---

title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainload +1

---

that should get ya going.. put that in /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf (whichever is already there)

Thank_you
I will C if that works.
:wink:

your windows part of grub would look something like this:

Code:

---

title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,5)
makeactive
chainloader +1

---

where (hd0,5) would be the sixth partition of your first hard drive.

what partition of what drive is your windows install on?
