Hello! First of all, is there a reason why your drives are attached to the IDE channel which corresponds to hdb? That's typically the second channel of the one that's normally associated with hda for example. (Well normally on my machines that is.)
And second please refrain from sending HTML mail to the GNU lists such as this one, it's really frowned upon and can be considered grounds for not approval of your message. (Google Mail members please take note.) And then the third thing is that your GRUB arrangement on the SuSe disk is actually one that's managed by them, its really not supported by us despite the fact that the original one is being spun-down by us. There should be notes available from SuSe for appropriate dual booting of a system wearing such a loader. And yes for the fourth and final thing it is possible to have your system setup to boot to SuSe via the GRUB shell, and that's by swapping disks. Also please check your system's configuration as well. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The Force will be with you. Always."

Each of the 2 OS is on a different hard drive. hdb1 is running XP and hdb2 Linux. I recently ad to reinstall XP and, hence, lost GRUB double booting. To reinstall it I used instructions in 3918735 created and modified on 20 November 2006. After "reboot" I got the following message: "Grub --install copies GRUB images into the DIR/ boot directory specified by --root.directory and uses the Grub shell to install grub into the boot" "[email protected]" When I rebooted, GRUB is not detected. The system goes directly to hdb1 and boots from XP. Do you have a correction for GRUB reinstallation? could it be that I should replace hdb2 by hdb1 where GRUB booter belongs? Thanks for your help jo atallah _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
