[wellylug] Adding Windows after Linux

[Nathan Cook]

Hi all,

I have a slight problem here, I have a PC here running Suse 10.1 64bit. The
owner of the PC wanted to install Windows XP Home on it as well, so rather
than blowing away the Suse install I disconnected the Suse SATA drive and
installed Windows on a seperate 80GB drive.

I have now plugged back in the Suse SATA drive and have set the BIOS to boot
off the Suse drive, this works well.

The Suse install sees the new 80GB drive as a Windows volume etc, the
problem I have though is that the line I have added into the
/boot/grub/menu.lst file refuses to boot the windows drive when selected it
just reboots the PC. Can anyone point me in the right direction, I'm
thinking that it's just Windows doing what it does best...

Thanks
