I write this tutorial to explain how to solve a problem that occurred to me using SuSE 9.2 and 9.3, but that affects the Grub bootmanager, distro-independent.
PROBLEM. You have 2 Hard-disks on your machine: the primary disk has Linux installed (e.g SuSE 9.3 Pro) and the secondary one has MS Windows (e.g WinXP Pro); if you select Windows in the bootloader screen, the O.S won't boot up, and an error message similar to the following appears:
(hd 0,1)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
chainloader +1
SOLUTION. 1) Open a filemanager as Superuser (On Suse 9.3: MenuK > System > File managers > SuperUser file manager, or run the command "kdesu konqueror" in KDE).
2) Go to the folder /boot/grub/ and click the file menu.lst
3) The file opens in a text editor. Select the menu File > Open with > Kate. The file is opened with Kate, which allows you to edit it.
4) Look for the part of the document which regards Windows and replace it with the following:
title Windows
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader (hd1,0)+1
5) Save the file and reboot your computer. Now if you select "Windows" in Grub starting screen, Microsoft O.S should boot up without problems.
