I got a problem linux, the boot loader shows that windoze xp is avaliable but when I try to load it up, the machine just hangs with a black screen saying

ChainLoader
Partiton 0x Is Fat
_

What's Happend?

------>
First boot into Suse make a boot floppy and reboot SuSe with it.
Then boot into XP with your XP cd and go to recovery console and type fdisk /fixmbr
Reboot and only XP should load. Insert suse floppy, boot into suse then reinstall grub into the mbr (via yast) that should fix it.

------>
fdisk /fixmbr wont work. For win95/98/me you use "fdisk /mbr" with a startup disk. With win2000/xp you boot into the recovery console using the installation CD and type fixmbr (fixboot is also a command but as I don't use windoze I don't really know what it does.) If reinstalling grub does not work, check your grub.conf file and make sure your windoze entry looks something like:
rootnoverify (hd0,0)

chainloader +1
