suse 10.2 on d:
but after installing ,no windows prompt occur
and it only shows linux on the grub loader...
plz tell me hoe to install these two os on my lappy
SuSE should have detected the windows installation, and also should have made an entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst for vista. Look at the output of fdisk -l to see what the windows partiition is called (something like /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1).
Then search the LQ boards for dual boot and vista issues. You can find examples of the correct entry to make in menu.lst to show windows as a boot option.
