Hi folks!
For some reason, Windoze has stopped booting on my system. I've had this
machine for a couple years now, with WinXP sitting on a SATA physical drive
and SUSE 10.0 - 10.2 on a separate IDE drive. I think the problem started
when I got a portable USB drive that I had to turn off when rebooting (the
BIOS would try to boot to it). I changed the BIOS so it would ignore the
portable drive, boot to Grub (the IDE drive) first, then floppy, then CD.
Now Grub loads fine, but selecting Windows from the menu displays the menu
settings, and hangs.
Here is the relevant portion of the Grub menu.lst:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x31a resume=/dev/hda1
splash=silent showopts elevator=
initrd /boot/initrd
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader (hd1,0)+1
Device.map reads like this:
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd1) /dev/sda
(hd0) /dev/hda
The YaST partitioner recognizes /dev/hda as the Linux drive, and /dev/sda as
the Windows drive, with /dev/sda1 as the WIndows partition (and BTW, the
files on the Windows partition are readable in Linux, so I haven't lost
anything!)
Any ideas?
TIA,
Mike
