this morning i woke up and turn on the computer only to be greeted with
"GRUB |" on the screen.
:huh:
I ahve windows xp, and suse 9.1 installed. Along with GRUB for the boot loader.
Well after school I just reinstalled suse9.1 and I can now boot into windows and linux.
but any idea what might have caused Grub to get corrupted? :huh:
what were you playing with before you shut down last ?
was using fireworks mx 2004, power point and word 2003, firefox (on fst), azureus was downloading, folding@home was...folding.
That's pretty much all i did on the computer yesterday.
Nothing related to linux or anything off ordinary computer use. :huh:
seems a bit odd. normally the bootloader messes up if you play around with partition tables, move drives about or generally piss about with the mbr.
I resized the linux partition last weekend or maybe longer ago but not sure how that could make it stop working today. :unsure:
is there a way to make a bootable floppy that will boot straight to windows?
xp boot disk
where exactly did you install grub to ? I normally place it in the master boot record but using the nt bootloader is also possible.
guide
not sure i didn't really pay attention.Quote:

have a look in the yast tool and find the options for bootloader. it should have all the information you need there.
