Hello,

I have a machine with 2 80GR HD's.

I'm trying to install Suse 10.2 into Logical partitions on the second drive in it works.

I have removed the options from Grub to boot the other Windows partions I have which exist on the first HD.

I have been user System Commander as my boot manager and works fine. I like it much better then Grub. However, some how after the Linux is installed and I try to get System Commander (SC) to boot up Linux it's no go and Grub ans messesed up the MBR.

I have reinstalled SC and I can get my Windows partitions to boot with SC but not Linux. This did work with Suse 9.2 which I had installed (since deleted). It really seems that Grub is messing things up.

Any help and suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Did you try chainloading grub from SC? You can boot Linux with Windows bootloader if you want, so it shouldn't be impossible with anything else either.. what you do in that case is install the Linux bootloader to /boot partition, then use dd to create an image of the first 512 bytes of that partition (512 first bytes of the disk would be MBR). Then you can configure Windows to use that image file to boot Linux.

Note that GRUB 2 is in development and sooner or later replaces GRUB Legacy.
