Hi: Here is a strange scenario that is currently faced with a friend of mine whom I helped migrate to OpenSuSe Linux sometime back.
The system has a 80Gb SATA HDD. The first partition is 20GB (WinXP) The second partition is 2GB swap (for Linux) The third partition is 55GB linux (ext3). WinXP was working fine after OpenSuSe 10.2 was installed. He applied the online update for OpenSuse from one of the repositories for multimedia. He says that the update took rather long and many rpms were installed. Thats fine ! Now, on selecting the WinXP label from GRUB prompt, the system momentarily shifts to blanks screen and presents the prompt again. Even typing the following command on the boot prompt hasn't helped grub> rootnoverify(hd0,0) grub> chainloader +1 grub> boot Has anybody faced this situation ? If yes, please share the solution or the workaround ! Thanks in advance. thanks Saifi. TWINCLING Society http://www.twincling.org/
