I installed OpenSUSE on a seperate hard drive and suse boots fine, however when trying to boot into vista it just hangs on me, the menu.lst is as follows.
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader (hd0,0)+1
it hangs saying that aswell with the usual flashing _
can anyone help?
Where did you write GRUB on the Vista drive or opensuse drive ?
Be so kind to run as root the next commands and post it here.
Fdisk -l (lower case of L)
cat /boot/grub/menu.lst

Looks like you installed Suse to (hd1,0) = sdb1, and that the vista bootloader is on (hd0,0) = sda1. If that’s correct then change this:
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader (hd0,0)+1
to this
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader (hd0,0)+1
