I multiboot linux and windows from my system. First I had two windows installations on two of my three hard disks(XP, windows 7 beta) later I installed opensuse after which I can't boot to windows. I get an "error 13:Invalid or unsupported executable file https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/406830-grub-error-13-Dual-boot-problem type" if I try to boot from grub. I tried searching forums and using the bootloader from opensuse to add chainloader entries for windows for various possiblities but it didn't work. From the similar problems that I found while searching the forums, I thought the following information could be helpful for a solution: Code: linux-w4az:/home/neo # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 20.0 GB, 20020396032 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2434 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xe9b36afa Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 181 1453851 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda2 182 1121 7550550 83 Linux /dev/sda3 1122 2434 10546672+ 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000a9b97 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 2611 20971520 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb2 2611 5222 20971520 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb3 5222 7833 20971520 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb4 7833 19457 93369780+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sdb5 7834 11749 31455270 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb6 11750 15665 31455238+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb7 15666 19457 30459208+ 7 HPFS/NTFS Disk /dev/sdc: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier
