Add Win XP to the boot loader

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I installed Suse 1st followed by windows XP. On Installing XP the Suse partition became inactive, which I solved by using the suse dvd to repair and install a new grub boot loader and now I can only see the selection of Suse and Suse Failsafe in the boot loader, how do I add XP on the boot loader menu?

Also I installed suse on my benq R45 laptop which has an inbuilt webcam, whenever I use Suse, the web camera is always switched any idea how to switch it off?

Thanks for your help.

To add XP entry to boot loader:
open YaST > System > Boot Loader Settings.
Hit Add button and select the Chainloader section. Specify a name for boot entry and select the partition where the XP is located.
Good luck.

Be careful. If your system is not updated properly you could mess it up. I would prefer you post the contents of this from a su terminal:

fdisk -l
