Default Suse 9.0 & Windows XP dual boot

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)

Hello,

windows is not able to boot from a slave drive. 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.
