Re: SuSE Linux 10.1 booting to Windows

OK, tried that, thank you.

    But then I get a very basic looking panel which has the title GNU GRUB version 0.97, and the same booting options as before. When I select WINDOWS, and Enter, I get a message:

    Error 12: Invalid device requested
    Press any key to continue...

    which then takes me back to the GRUB panel.

    No boot to Windows.
