| I have two seperate hard drives. One has Suse 9.0 installed and the other has Windows XP. The linux drive is set to master and the windows to slave. I am trying to set up a dual boot configuration. Could someone please walk me through setting this up? (note when i booted the machine up, windows is not even listed as one of the possible drives) |

You either have to switch the disks or make M$ think it is booting from a master drive. You can do this with grub in the menu.lst. Alex |
