Darryl, If you're asking where Grub is installed, I'm not sure. XP is installed on its own physical drive, /dev/sda (aka hd1 in device.map). SUSE is installed on /dev/hda (aka hd0). Grub initially had just the plain rootnoverify and chainloader lines (and I think I've tried all the hd0 and hd0 permutations for those lines, and XP still won't boot. I did remove the makeactive line from menu.lst after your note, but that didn't make any difference. The fact that I get a second Grub window when I choose to boot XP might be a clue, perhaps. I was playing with all sorts of settings in YaST, and I'm starting to wonder whether I've got a copy of Grub on each physical drive. I'm not sure how I'd remove the copy on the NTFS drive, though. Thoughts appreciated.
