Post Dual booting Opensuse and WinXP installed on seperate disks
Good evening,

When I installed OpenSuse 11.1 over the weekend, I installed it on a seperate Hard drive to the hard drive on which Windows XP are installed.

But now I have changed my mind and know want both systems to be bootable via a dual-boot system.

Is there a way to archive this, without reinstalling OpenSuse(or WindowsXP) completely and how would I be able to do this step-by-step

Kind regards

New-chameleon

Boot openSUSE and open YaST->system->boot loader-> section management.
You can add there, if boot does not exist.
