I have a quick question...
I know that SuSE 9.1 Professional has an error with dual booting, but I have two different hard drives:
1)Primary--SuSE Linux
2)Secondary--Windows XP Home Edition SP2 (This was preexisting)

Anyways...
I want to know if my problem is with "parted" (or whatever) or if I did not configure the GRUB bootloader options correctly.

GRUB:

color white/blue black/light-gray

timeout 8
gfxmenu (hd0,1)/boot/message

I have it set to "(hd1,1)" because my Windows hard drive is the second hard drive and the first partition is "HP System Recovery".

***I am able to browse all of my files on my Windows hard drive through SuSE***
***The format of my Windows hard drive is NTFS***

Any help would be much appreciated, and I am sure I am overlooking something simple.
Thank you for you time.

One quick addition:
I changed (in the bios) the hard drive setting to LBA on both hard drives (just like the faq said), but I still get this error message when I try to boot into Windows.

root (hd1,1)
filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
chainloader +1

Although you didn't say specifically, I'm assuming you can boot SuSE but not windows?

Windows is a selfish OS. It wants to be number one in all things, including the disk it's installed on (the first one, of course). But you can trick it, via grub.

Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. Between 'title windows' and 'rootnoverify', add these two lines:
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)

Grub should then be able to hand the boot process over to the windows bootloader.

Thank you for the help! I am able to use Windows now.

P.S.-I added what you said to in the grub file, but it still didn't work, so I changed the hard drive access mode to "Large" on both, and it worked. This is related to the SuSE 9.1 Professional dual boot problem, I believe. I read in the FAQ to change the hard drive access mode to "LBA", but it should be on "Large".
