Help : Partition Hdd

[*MO*]

Hi guys

Not sure what section this belongs in. I'm running XP, and i installed Suse 9.1 on another partition. I split my HDD, one linux, and one NTFS, and the swap partition was created, and everything is fine. I boot into Linux no problem. but here's the problem. I can't get into my windows partition. tells me :

invalid partition type (with some code looking like 0X7 or something like that)

I'm plaaning to format my machine. I will then partition the HDD BEFORE installing XP again, and then install Linux on the other partition.

if anyone can save me before i do this insanly LONG process, please let me know please?

regards,
Morne

<I'm running XP, and i installed Suse 9.1 on another partition.

Very cool, I've been "planning" to leap to BSD or Linux for some time now.. (I feel like such a coward.. )

<I split my HDD, one linux, and one NTFS, and the swap partition was created, and everything is fine.

NTFS = native for Windows XP
Ext2/3 = native for *nix

I don't think this two enjoy conversing with each other, and or if their is NTFS support for SuSe, is there??

<I boot into Linux no problem. but here's the problem. I can't get into my windows partition. tells me : invalid partition type (with some code looking like 0X7 or something like that)

/what I tried to say above.. though someone please assist me with tiding up my digital-eraser marks please, as I'm sure I missed something.

I've done it with Suse 9.0. and everything was 100%. i did that long ago and formated, and now i wanna do it with 9.1 and now i get this error

I'm going home soon, then i'll see if i can't get it working again.

In future you can try booting from the Windows CD and fixing the MBR. Not sure how linux will react but it should sort XP out.

Go to Xandros and you won't have any sweat at all.
