Hi All,

I had a dual boot of Windows and Ubuntu Fiesty on my machine which has 2 80GB hdds

I installed the Suse on the 2nd hdd while both WinXP and Ubuntu are on hdd1

After installing Suse I can See only winxp in the Grub list , Ubuntu is gone

Why is it happening ?

I mounted the boot dir of Ubuntu on Suse and copied and added the needed ubuntu lines onto Suse 's Menu.lst still not working I have pasted here the menu.lst on Suse

Suse Recognises disks as hds while Ubuntu as sd's is that an Issue ?

Thanks in Advance ,

After adding those lines to your menu.lst file on your Suse system, did you reinstall Grub? You need to do, as root:
grub-install /dev/hda
That will reinstall grub to the MBR of your first hard drive. Then your list of OSes will be complete.

Thanks So Much Vincent

How foolish of me, I could not think of that , It worked

Thanks a million

Best Regards,

Show us here the output of
You are booting everything in the dark without knowing which partition Ubuntu is residing.

You're welcome.
