How do I swap windows on hard 2 to hard drive 1 and linux from 1 to 2
Hi Linux world. I have windows on hard plate 2 and Linux as hard drive 1, two seperate hard drives. I have accuried a Nokia 6101 handy and yakumo alpa GPs hand held, but they don't communicate with my Suse 10. Therefore I am forced to make the windows drive the number one and the linux the number two. I tried to locate the Linux drive with Kanotix to change the lilo but He could not locate the drive; or rather could not open it . Do I have to live with the constant changing of the cable to talk to the windows drive? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Can't you keep it as Windows on Drive 1 and Linux on Drive 2? Linux works fine on drive 2. You will probably have to reload your boot loader and reconfigure fstab.
to arubin.
The problem is that I have physically changed the drives as indicated above and now find the need to be able to boot windows and B. G.' program must be or at least must think that it is Nummero Uno.
The other reply which I have not tried yet but will, if it worksmay be a possible answer.
Kanotix could not open or contact the linux drive when I physically changed the drives then I could not reconfig the lilo
I wish to thank both members who responded to my question. The situation has resolved its's self, I' m the owner of a free ( although for a B. G. computer that is still too much.) out dated computer, but for my purposes it will serve just fine.
It is nice to know that help is just a call away, thanks again
