grub.


I am trying to boot XP from second hd but when selecting and booting from grub menu just gives a "$".

Here is my menu.list:
Code:
# Modified by YaST2. Last modification on Thu Dec 27 00:12:53 SGT 2007
default 0
#timeout 8
#gfxmenu (hd1,5)/boot/message

###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux###
title openSUSE 10.3 - 2.6.22.13-0.3
root (hd1,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.13-0.3-default root=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor_6E040L0_E92EYJTE-part6 vga=0x317 resume=/dev/sdb5 verbose showopts
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.22.13-0.3-default

    initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.22.13-0.3-default

###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows###
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd1,5)
chainloader  (hd1,0)+1

###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: Linux other###
title Linux other
rootnoverify (hd1,5)
chainloader (hd2,0)+1
As you can see from the above i am unable to boot into windows, whenever selecting "windows" it gives
Code:
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd1,5)
chainloader  (hd1,0)+1
with the "$" and the cursor keeps blinking.

grub is installed in /dev/sda1 and windows is in /dev/sdb1 with the root partition of suse in /dev/sdb6, swap in /dev/sdb5.

I am not sure what else to state here so if you guys can help me out please do so.

Thank you.

I may be off base but I bet someone will ask you to go to Konsole (terminal) and type fdisk -ls and list the results.
