Hi,  Where is my Suse?
 I have a second drive along my 1st drive with win xp on first base, 
thus installed opensuse on my second drive, after I restarted the 
machine, wind xp seemed gone and suse being ignored.
After reconfig the bios and resetting reconfiguration, wn xp is back and 
both drives are recognized. However how do I start opensuse? John
