Hi,
I just installed openSUSE 10.3 on my laptop. I started the installationprogram from Windows Vista wanting a Dual Boot system.
Everything works fine, but! when i chose "Windows" in the startup menu, it just starts the Linux installationprogram ( a real oldfashioned style one), I cannot access Windows. How do I remove this boot settings? I can see all Windows files from openSUSE.
I'm quite thankful for any answer.

Kind regards,
Hans

I'm a little confused. When you say you "chose 'Windows' in the startup menu", do you mean that you chose Windows from the bootloader menu (the thing that comes up immediately after powering on the machine)?

Also, it sounds like you still have the install media in the optical drive; an older Win '98 style window will come up and say "Loading Linux kernel" or something like that if this is the case.

I also thought that only Ubuntu had the ability to start the installation from inside Windows? Maybe I'm wrong...

And lastly, while support for writing to ntfs filesystems from inside Linux has improved dramatically, and many people utilize it, I would not advise it.
