Hello,
My question concerns dual booting with Opensuse. I’ve read the wiki and I think I’m on the right track but if some could read my config posted below and please let me know if it’s correct. I’m disabled so I don’t want to reboot into a mess. Firstly I had installed Suse a week ago before I installed EasyBCD and iReboot today. When I installed Suse I installed it’s bootloader to the root partition, however, it was the Suse loader that was dominant so I chainloaded Windows 7 with it. And that’s how booted into Windows where I am now.
I then used EasyBCD to restore the BCD backup and subsequently used it again to install the Windows 7 bootloader to the MBR. I’m hoping this is correct but I have a nagging suspicion that the word grub should be in the Linux boot config. The partition I chose is indeed the Suse root partition.
There are a total of 2 entries listed in the bootloader.
Default: Microsoft Windows 7
Timeout: 10 seconds
EasyBCD Boot Device: C:\
Entry #1
Name: Microsoft Windows 7
BCD ID: {default}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Entry #2
Name: NeoSmart Linux
BCD ID: {e5a5222e-eba5-11df-ac2f-83229af89c06}

Bootloader Path: \NST\nst_linux-0E79406678845F2948F4EE168005C489.mbr
