Hi, after i install suse 10.3, under boot loader i cannot find my windows partition which under yast i checked, boot loader was at the correct partition where my windows XP was installed.
How can i load my windows again?

I'm sorry, which bootloader did you use? Where did you install it?

hi, im using the bootloader that come with suse 10.3.

Good - where did you install it? Default position?

I don't understand this:
What do you mean "under boot loader"?

Perhaps you are trying to access your windows files from SUSE - is this correct?

sorry im abit new with linux, how do i know where i install bootloader?
what i mean i cannot find windows is because under the bootloader menu i can see boot to windows option, but after when i select it, i saw black screen only and it just stay there along with these message:

"rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader /dev/sdc1"

sdc1 is where windows reside, so why is it not able to boot?

It is part of the install process... if you don't know, then you installed it to the master boot record of the first HDD. If you can boot openSUSE - then the bootloader must be working fine.

Ahhh... you are trying to boot to windows from the grub menu.

"rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader /dev/sdc1"

It won't boot because sdc is not the zeroth HDD, it's the second one. This would seem to be a fubar on behalf of the openSUSE installer.

Lets just verify this: in openSUSE, open a terminal, become root, and show me the result of

fdisk -l


If all goes right, /dev/sdc1 will be listed as a windows partition.

You will need to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst as root. The windows entry needs to read:

title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd2,0)
makeactive
map (hd0) (hd2)
map (hd2) (hd0)
chainloader +1

Make it look like that. Save and reboot.
