Re: [SLE] Just installed SuSE 10

Think I am answering everyones questions bellow.

Windows installation is on the SCSI drive, the ide drive had at one
time an OS, but it is just a "my documents" disk now.

My C drive for windows is /dev/sda1. I keep my boot fat so I can more
easily get to it with boot drives, linux, old habbit I started back in
windows NT days.
more /etc/fstab
users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0
/dev/sda3 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hdc1 /windows/C ntfs
ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/sda1 /windows/D vfat
users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
(removed the non relivant lines)

It is a 9 gig HD, strange that it show it being bigger, during the
install it says it resized the window partian to 5 gigs
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 3.0G 2.3G 747M 76% /
tmpfs 252M 12K 252M 1% /dev/shm
/dev/hdc1 20G 13G 6.6G 66% /windows/C
/dev/sda1 8.6G 3.4G 5.2G 40% /windows/D


When I set grub to boot off of hdc1 in yast(just in case), I ger the
following, and nothing else, just sits there,
"Chainloaer (#
Chd 1,0)+1"


more /boot/grub/device.map
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd3) /dev/sdc
(hd1) /dev/hdc
(hd2) /dev/sdb

I can access /windows/D (which is really the C:, and look over
boot.ini and other files.

Partitioner shows:
/dev/dhc 19.0gb Maxtor-5T020H2 0 2490
/dev/hdc1 19.0gb HPFS/NTFS /Windows/C 0 2490
/dev/sda 8.5gb SEAGATE-ST39204LW 0 1114
/dev/sda1 5.0 Win95 FAT32 LBA /windows/D 0 662
/dev/sda2 509.8mb Linux Swap swap 662 727
/dev/sda3 2.9gb Linux Native / 727 1114

GRUB is looking for your Windows installation at IDE hard drive 0 (the
first drive primary hard disk on your system). The second 0 refers to
the first partition on that drive. The +1 bit is correct. Now, is
your Windows installation actually on this disk or is it on a SCSI
disk or possibly elsewhere? From what you have said it sounds as
though GRUB has picked up an old install that has only been partially
removed.
