dual boot XP pro and Suse
I originally had XP pro installed on my computer. I used Partition Magic to modify and create new partitions for an additional operating system (using Partition Magic's :install new OS option). I only have one hard drive, so I created to additional partition behind my original UNIX partition. For some reason Partition Magic changed my original partition to hidden NTFS. I installed Suse with no problems, and it works great. My problem is booting into windows. Since Partition Magic made it a hidden NTFS, its almost like its not even there to begin with. I am using Suse's GRUB boot loader, but I do not know what I need to enter so that when I boot, XP is one of my options. Right now, all I can pick from is Linux or Failsafe. I saw in some other forum, and it said to edit the /etc/grub.conf file, so i edited it:
original grub.conf file: root (hd0,2) install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,2)/boot/grub/menu.lst quit after changes: root (hd0,2) install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,2)/boot/grub/menu.lst title Windows XP root noverify (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader +1 quit This did not do the trick. If anyone can provide me with any help whatsoever, it would be great. I am stuck, and need some help. Feel free to e-mail me for more info, or just post and ill reply. e-mail me |
