how to boot as SuSE, instead of windows...

sorry for being such a noobass~

I formatted suse 10.2 fresh on my dell laptop (Latitude D800). After 2 months, I installed Windows XP on a different partition.

It now boots as XP ... How do i create a dual-booting option, so I can access SuSE again...?

Thanks,
Eugene

Will doing this "upgrade" / update completely bone my current xorg.conf settings?

... I can remember spending many hours figuring out how to get my NVIDIA card to force a resolution (to get the cubey-stuff, and other nifty-looking stuff working).

I definitely made an xorg.conf.backup .... will i be fine? >.<

Thanks again,

Eugene
