FW: Request for advice (help)

Hello friends,
since many years I'm using first Red Hat and now, since 2004, SUSE. I just upgraded to version 11.2 .
On the same machine, I'm keeping Windows 2000. for special applications.
During all the years I use to have problems with the bootloader, first Lilo and now GRUB.

Since the upgrade, I cannot access Windows, though I can access the files via Suse, with the kown limitations.

"Repair" the system, using the SUSE application stops at GRUB, asks if it should be repaired and my response would be "OK" - the prompt will be "Bootloader successfully repaired" - the fact, however, is: SUSE only appeares on the boot screen. (attached snap shoot)

I accessed the bootloader via YAST - but I cannot figure out the syntax.

According to the BIOS - there are 2 HD, one for Windows with two partitions (C & D)
1) Primary Master WDC WD2500AAJB-00J3A  (this is the HD containing LINUX only)
2) Secondary Ma  WDC WD1200BB-00HTA0 (this is Windows only - C&D)

Linux Sys Screen shows (Snapshoot attached):
NTFS 3g 53 GB
home Ext 4  (dev/fd0)

NTFS 3g 56 GB
/ EXT 4

The windows version starts from HD "D"

What I think I need is a Syntax for Yast with the basic code according to the information above and
the sample screen shot (The windows entry is just fake to get to this screen). If I had that, I could probably adjust if required - and - I would save to re-install windows 2000 and than connect Linux again.

Please address chainloader, bloc etc as required

I have many smart LINUX books- but I never can find anything that is as simple as this GRUB entry under YAST.

Your help will be appreciated and improve my excitment for LINUX.
