Err, well it looks like you've installed Mandrake on the same partition (hdb6) that you had SuSE on before. If you want to be able to boot into either of them, you'll need to install them on different partitions.

Can't believe I did that, have a look at this link http://adrian.shetlandscenes.co.uk/ I seem to have another partition I that's where I got confused. sorry if the screenshots are slow loading never resized them. Adrian

Hi,after I re-installed on the wrong partition, I stared over. (long night) I loaded Mandriva first on the space on C drive alongside XP and changed the boot to Grub then I loaded Suse on D drive alongside XP. this is the boot menu from Suse, can you tell me what to add now to make Mandriva show on the boot menu, thank you Adrian

You'll need to tell us which partition on hda1 you installed Mandriva on. If it's on hda5 try
Code:
title Mandriva |
Hi try this link, I took a screen shot of what Suse sees. I installedon the 16.2 GB partition. http://adrian.shetlandscenes.co.uk/ /dev/sdb1 is a flashDisk plugged in to USB port

success
Hi Andrew and anyone else who helped, success, I copied and pasted what you wrote, into the menu list and it works fine. Athough when booting in to Mandriva I did notice that in the verbose option it said: Failed wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb5. But it all works OK, is this a problem I should try to fix? anyway thanks for all your help( and patience) ttfn Adrian

Cool. Maybe you could try taking out the resume=/dev/hdb5 bit and see if the error message goes away
