Hi All, I have just installed SUSE 10.1 OSS in order to dual boot with Windows XP. XP is on the first partition and SUSE installed onto free space which I made available on the same drive. All went well or so I thought until I discovered that the Windows entry on the SUSE (GRUB) boot menu does not load Windows. It just sits there with the message "chainloader hd(0,0)+1" and does not go any further. I love SUSE 10.1 and everything works so I do not want to remove it. Therefore I have installed GRUB to a floppy disk so that I can boot SUSE in the future and tried to remove GRUB from the MBR in order to restore the windows boot process. I tried to remove GRUB by booting from the XP CD, entering recovery console and performing the classic FIXMBR and FIXBOOT. But whatever I do GRUB will not remove itself from the MBR. I have also tried FDISK /MBR from a Windows 98 Boot CD. This has always worked like a charm in the past. Where else could GRUB have put itself? and how can I remove it using tools within SUSE. Can anyone offer a suggestion. Sorry for the long ramble. Many thanks in advance.
