>.< Grub Wont Load My Xp Home

At the boot screen when I choose to load windows it only shows

chainloader (hd0,0)+1

I went to YaST > System > Boot Loader > Other > Propose New Configuration. It still says the same thing.
I'm a newb so be a little specific. Thx!

Ah! sorry i took so long to reply, i was eating ^^. Ok, I have 2 hard drives. (160GB) Windows, All of it and the other one has 1 windows partition to store my Bleaach(18.16GB) and the others are linux. (20.00GB is root) (33.87GB is my User)
I have no idea how to open menu.lst because it says i cant >.< and i tried opening it through a shell as root but i dont think im doing it right.

As root, say:

less /boot/grub/menu.lst
df -h

Post the results here.

You seem to have several similar titles. I have deleted repetitions, and slightly modified the others.

You have probably installed the xen kernel. That might be difficult. Why not choose only the default kernel, for the beginning?

Post here the outcome of

uname -a


Do the following.

Copy the text below into menu.lst (overwrite the contents of the existing file).
Be careful with truncated lines, if some lines would get truncated.

Start Yast, go to System, bootloader. Verify that you see all five titles. Slightly edit any title, for example, change XEN2 to XXEN. Select Boot Loader Installation tab. Select there "Master Boot Record of /dev/hda" as "Boot Loader Location". Finish.

Reboot. If everything goes correctly, select Default to log in.

If you don't have a particular reason to use the xen kernel, then uninstall all xen-related packages in Yast (in Software management, search for xen). If you cannot do it, then better reinstall SUSE.

Ok, i got this

Linux Omoikane 2.6.16.13-4-xen #1 SMP Wed May 3 04:53:23 UTC 2006 i686 athlon i3

I do have XEN (i have no idea what it is). And the extra entries in the bootloader were made by YaST. I don't know how to edit the menu.lst. I tried doing it through the root terminal notepad style, but i cant change the text. I remember i could open the lilo one with a text editor back when i was using knoppix but even then i could not over write it. Also, why change the change XEN2 to XXEN? (just curious) Is it because it would still be broken otherwise? And lastly.... yeah i think ill have to reinstall this thing >.< I changed from xp to suse because i wanted to get the nice visuals (XLG was it? Don't know, forgot the name of the app) without needing a gaming rig just to run my OS (Unlike vista) I'm going to go to sleep now; going without sleep for two nights isnt really good for me. gnight mate, i appreciate the help. I learned a lot!

Yes, re-installation is a good idea. There, if you have single-processor computer, select the default kernel. If you have dual-processor computer, select kernel SMP.

Deselect everything related to xen.

You can edit menu.lst with pico or with emacs:

pico menu.lst , or emacs menu.lst

Some years ago, Yast, in order to overwrite the boot loader, should have seen a change in menu.lst. Changing a small thing in menu.lst was a trigger for Yast. This small defect of Yast might have not existed and may be gone now, but I am still in doubt.

GLX is essentially useless. If you configure your colors, fonts and other visuals good, GLX is of no use.

I see you are in the beginning of learning. Expect to finish the beginning in half a year.

Half a year? Thats reasonable. I say bring it! this morning i didnt know what the terminal window was for ^^. I'm off to sleep now! sleeeeeeeeep :lol:

I reinstalled suse and it's still doing the same thing!
