I got a problem linux, the boot loader shows that windoze xp is avaliable but when I try to load it up, the machine just hangs with a black screen saying
ChainLoader
Partiton 0x Is Fat

What's Happend?
------>
First boot into Suse make a boot floppy and reboot SuSe with it.
Then boot into XP with your XP cd and go to recovery console and type
fdisk /fixmbr
Reboot and only XP should load. Insert suse floppy, boot into suse
then reinstall grub into the mbr (via yast) that should fix it.
------>
fdisk /fixmbr wont work. For win95/98/me you use "fdisk /mbr" with
a startup disk. With win2000/xp you boot into the recovery console using
the installation CD and type fixmbr (fixboot is also a command but as I
don't use windoze I don't really know what it does.) If reinstalling grub
does not work, check your grub.conf file and make sure your windoze entry
looks something like:
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
