Triple booting

kimobritton · 04-03-2007, 07:10 PM

I would like to triple boot Windows XP, Vista and Suse 10.2 and use the Suse Grub. I have it all set up and almost working except when I boot into grub and select Windows XP it just hangs. When I select the Windows Vista it loads into Vista's boot manger and I can select either Vista or XP from here which works.

Does any one know how I can boot into any of the three OS's from Suse's GRUB, or any documentation I can read to get this accomplished.

Thanks in advance.

Just use the "Search" at the top of this page and in the forums box enter grub and you will have a lot of threads to read through or you might like this article from the articles section " http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...ading_in_Linux "
and if you want you can use Google.

I am not sure you are going to be able to change this.
When I installed my RC2 of Vista alongside XP I found the Vista bootloader had taken over XP bootup and the XP partition started the Vista bootloader with the option for both (I don't know why yours is the opposite.) I had to run a program to put things back to normal with XP before deleting Vista.
I believe that is a "feature" of the Windows bootloader. Why not just change the grub entry to Windows and choose from there?
