Question: Hello,
after resizing my NTFS partition with Gparted and Knoppix and installing OpenSuse, I canīt boot into windows anymore.
At first, GRUB halted with a message like this:
chainloader (hd0,0)+1
After a lot of trying and cursing, I got the following message out of it:
root (hd 0,0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
chainloader +1
The error corresponds with this article:
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB%3AWindows_No_Longer_Boots_Following_the_Installation_of_SUSE_LINUX_9.1
The article however, explicitly states the article only to be applied to Suse 9.1, so I donīt have much to go on and am out of ideas.
I have also searched my BIOS and Motherboard manual (Asus A8N-SLI) for ĻLBAĻ, but couldnīt find anything clear.
Can anyone help me?

I donīt think the resizing was the problem, because I can still mount the partition and access my data.
