[SOLVED] Dual Boot with windows XP

**suj242** · 03-24-2008

Hi
I am using a Celeron 933 Mhz PC and have been using Suse 9 for some time. I have 2 HDDs and have installed Suse on one and windows Xp on another separately.
The HDD 1 has Suse on it and is the master and HDD2 which is the slave has XP. In my Grub i have only Suse listed as both the OS were installed without the other HDD connected. and now to boot into my windows, I have to go to the boot options of the BIOS and select the 2nd HDD.
How can i make windows to be listed in GRUB?

Thanx in advance

regards
Sujai

Hi and Welcome !

Boot up SuSe, login as root and open /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
Add this code at the end of file :

Code:

title Windows XP
     rootnoverify (hd1,0)
     map (hd0)  (hd1)
     map (hd1)  (hd0)
     chainloader +1

Save file and reboot machine. Select Windows XP title in GRUB Menu.

In case it doesn't work, execute fdisk -l command in Terminal and post output here.

Code:

su -
fdisk -l
