I am having problem with grub. I have opensuse 10.3 installed in a 40 GB hard disk and winxp in a SATA hard drive which is 80 GB. While installing linux I kept the windows HD open, as I faced some problem earlier with grub with both the hard disks connected. Now I want to make entry of the windows disk in grub. I tried to edit the menu.list file manually but without result. I think I am having problem in making out the sequence of hard disks. How do I know the sequence of hard disks as grub sees it....i.e. which will be called hd0, which will be called hd1 etc.
