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.

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

When I set grub to boot off of hdc1 in yast(just in case), I ger the
following, and nothing else, just sits there,

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

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.


Could you post the contents of files /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/grub.conf?
