Trouble with dual booting windows and suse 10.0

[bakler]

Before i installed suse i ran windows xp pro x64 on a sata hd. I also have
2 other hds installed on my computer. I just installed linux today, first
time ever using any form of it. While installing i clicked on the expert
tab for configuring my system setup (partitioning, boot, etc.) and i
pointed the grub boot loader to load windows from my sata hd, but after the
install i went to load up windows and it just hangs the screen saying....
chainloader(hd2,0)+1


It doesn't do anything from there. My question is what hd do i point grub
to boot windows from (hd2,hd1,....)I've tried all and it does the same
thing. Oh and suse is installed on it own hd, as is windows and the third
hd is in ntfs format and is used for extra storage. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

hi bakler,

Welcome to the LinuxForums.

edit menu.lst file.

title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd2,0)
map (hd0) (hd2)
map (hd2) (hd0)
chainloader +1

save file and reboot. in case it doesn't work, post the contents of menu.lst and device.map files and output of 'fdisk -l' command.
