OSS Problem

Hi..There is most likely a simple solution for my current situation with OSS..My system is as follows. 1 XP primary partionn , then 1 reseir fs primary and a extended partion containing a linux swap part and then a fat32 dump partition...the extended part is then followed by a 50mb fat32 primary part used for OSS....I installed OSS after the XP was done and then created the linux parts using DDS...

I then installed Suse 10.0 into the partitions created and made sure that i install grub on the reiserfs boot partition...

I then reactivate OSS to add the new OS to the list...booting into suse now after a reboot works ok.....restart and boot into xp using oss....ok....restart and try and boot into suse using OSS....grub seems unable to find the partition and cannot boot....i then get out the recoevery cd...boot...reactivate...and after a restart, can boot into suse ok.... does anybody have any ideas ? .

 

mmm... the legendary Acronis support at work.....well...
