I have my system set up with SuSE 9.0 on the master and Win XP on the slave. GRUB is in the MBR (I think). I want to be able to dual boot the system using grub, but I can't seem to figure it out. I've tried editing menu.1st and grub.conf, but nothing seems to work out. Here is what they both look like at this point: menu.1st title Linux kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ hda2 vga=0x317 splash=silent desktop hdc=ide-scsi hdclun=0 showopts initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd title WinXP rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 makeactive boot grub.conf root (hd0,1) install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/ grub/stage1 d (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,1)/boot/grub/menu.lst title WinXP rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 quit One thing that I just noticed and am going to try on reboot is that I just added the second drive (XP drive) to my device.map file. If it doesn't work, I need help. I'm sick of switching the primary boot device in the BIOS at startup.

Well, nevermind, I figured it out. I realized that I needed to remap the drives in menu.1st. Now it looks like this: title Linux blah blah title WinXP map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd1) rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 makeactive boot Good thing I'm just a newbie!

Even though you are new, that's actually good documentation. I've never run across that particular question before.

I am trying to do the same thing but I can't get it to work. I think I followed all of your suggestions. What can I be missing? Can you tell me what you put in device.map file? Using Suse 9.0 as master with WinXP on slave. Thanks, Michael

I installed SUSE 9.0 on the same drive as my windows XP that I want to dual boot with. I get a GRUB Geom Error. I can get into SUSE by using the disk, but I can not get into windows and I am a newbie when it comes to Linux, at least on the personal use side. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx
