I'm a first time linux user, and I install Suse 9.1
I have WinXP pro on a SATA drive and I install Suse in a ATA drive (20Gb). I partitioned the ide drive with partition magic in windows, then started the installation, selected "Use existing partitions" and choosed GRUB as Boot manager, when it finished and tried boot from IDE drive and appears:
GRUB Loading Stage2ReadError and it stop there.
Could somebody help me?

What filesystem did you use? If you used reiser4 then you need to use the lilo bootloader as grub can't load a reiser4 partion yet.

SuSE 9.1 should use reiserfs, not reiserfs4 on install. Ddid you use reiserfs during the install, or with PartitionMagic, what filesystem did you use to prepare the IDE drive partition for SuSE?
 
What drive and partition did you install Grub to?
