Installed SuSE 9.3, Can't Boot My Windows XP Any More - Help! post #1 by mac57

Hope this helps

I will have a look at the threads when I have a bit of free time.

It is just funny that I started with an XP and the first Linux I installed was Suse 9.1. Within one month I was booting XP and 3 Linux by Suse's Grub.

I have tried and stretched the limits of XP's NTLDR and Lilo.

I am just amazed by the problems people have with booting with Grub. Here are a few threads I have written on multi-boot
