Any of you use wingrub before?

I just can't get OpenSuSE to boot, I am putting the info in for it?? They have horrible forums for it also, so I thought I would ask here.

Please provide some clear info about how your partitions are set up, and also tell us what settings you used during intsallation.

Sorry, anyway I copy what is in my menu.lst from OpenSuSE. I am having a horrible time the NT loader just loads windows, but if I put Grub on (not wingrub) OpenSuSE boots, but I can't get windows to boot. I have title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
boot

in grub, but it gives ne :invalid device requested".

Ah you need to wap in "chainloader +1" after makeactive in the grub list, otherwise it doesnt look for the windows boot thing or something....

(and insert an opensuse joke)

Code:

title        Put Your Microsoft Windows Version Here
rootnoverify    (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
map        (hd0) (hd1)
map        (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader    +1
