Thanks everyone for the advice so far. I will have to dig into it further when I get back home.
I should further clarify my situation. I actually have windows 2000 running on hda (20GB) and I do have access to partition magic 7.0. I have 3 partitions fullfilling the following rolls and Suse did recognize them during install. I do have a copy of Knoppix around as well and thought that might help. C - SYSTEM (OS, Apps, etc.). Have less than a GB available for space. D - DATA (all my core data files). Have about 7 GB or so available on there. E - TEMP (Windows Swap, Temporary Internet Files & Quarantine Area). 1Gb in size but not all being used. I haven't used the recovery console enough to know exactly what to do, but I can always pull a book from my shelf. And not that I am against GRUB or anything but would using LILO help the situation any? Seeing as I have PartMag as well I know they have bootmagic in there as well. I am wondering if I could install it from the PM rescue disk and go that way? I do want to maintain the 20GB for now as it is my primary active environment right now and I know migration will take a bit of time to get everything over and tight. I have a machine that is currently running a working version of Red Hat 8.0 on it and was planning to move the 20GB drive there once I had tested and transfered any games and such to the Suse environment. >From the advice I am given am I correct in assuming that I should be taking the >following steps in the following order. Any further suggestions on other steps or a >change in order would be excellent: 1) Reinstall Suse 9 from CD and change bootloader (GRUB or LILO) to hdb (160GB). 2) Failing 1, remove 20GB & change 160 GB to master and repeat 1 with bootloader loaded on hda. 3) Check BIOS and see if drive recognized properly. If not, flash BIOS and check again. 4) Run fdisk /mbr and see if that corrects problem. 5) Use Recovery Console to try and correct issue. 6) Give up on the whole damn thing...become a budist monks and swear off on the evils of technology!!! Any thoughts? Cameron
