The new Grub menu should contain an entry for vista. If that entry has problems, make sure it looks like this in menu.lst:

where x,y is most often 0,0 for vista on the first partition. If puzzled, post here the menu.lst entry that you find for vista together with the return you get in a terminal when you enter this command:

Hi

Done the above.

Windows . Suse 11.1 and 11.1 safe mode and another entry like a kernel.

Suse 11.1 boots up but only goes as far as the text login screen. does not pick up the Xwindow or KDE3.5? but safe mode does. I will just log out and check if windows is working?
Though more important to get this KDE3.5 working from the text log in screen.

Thanks
