Hi

Running Suse 9.1
I wanted to do two things to my system

I attached another HDD with windows on it and can't get it to dual boot 
with Linux, i.e, I changed the grub.conf file in /etc to read for the 
windows part
title Windows XP
unhide (hd1,0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

This doesn't seem to work and I get an error message when I try to boot 
into windows.

Thing 2)

While reading the windows partitions (NTFS), I notice that I can only 
mount and read as root. I tried to change the permissions using chmod 
and also by changing the permissions in /etc/fstab manually. I also 
tried using Yast but I can't do it. Any suggestions?

Ranjan
