suse 9.2 pro boot loader problem

[peterb1985]

I have two hard disks hda contains windows 2000 pro and hdb contains windows xp pro.

I decided to install suse linux 9.2 pro on hdb because it had 70Gb of unallocated space.

So the software installed a 1Gb swap and 70Gb root and placed the boot loader on hda.

So it now looks like (i think)
hda1 windows 2000 pro
hdb1 windows xp pro
hdb2 swap
hdb3 root

when i boot the computer the grub boot loader only shows linux. How can i get the boot loader to show the windows partitions?

Are you sure you didn't wipe out the Windows partitions? GRUB should have a prompt stating to press a key to display possible boot options if you didn't set it up to automatically display the boot menu.

Check /etc/grub.conf to verify that there are entries for Windows in there.

Boot into Linux. Go to /boot/grub/grub.conf. Add (using your favorite text editor, most likely vim ;-)):
[tt]
title Win2k
rootnoverify (hd1,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
[/tt]
If there's no 'grub.conf' file, then try 'menu.lst'
