HELP! Suse9.2 "Failed to boot from Hard Disk..."
Help! I have been running a dual boot xp/Suse 9.2 system for about a month now. I have been using Suse for pretty much everything, save for CAD work that I have to do on Windows. This morning suse froze on me, so I had to manually restart the computer. I happened to have the Suse 9.2 Dvd in the DVD drive, so it loaded to the Grub screen asking whether or not I wanted to start from the Hard disk. Fine, so I tried to boot from the hard disk and it says "failed to boot from Hard Disk." No matter what I do, I cannot get anything to boot, this of course also means XP because I can't get to Grub that is on the hard disk itself...only from the DVD. If I boot without the DVD in the drive, the screen basically goes blank save for some little blips at the bottom of the screen. I have XP installed on sda1, and linux is installed on sdb1...so basically two separate drives. Initally I thought that since I really didn't have anthing critical on my Suse partition on that drive I would just do a reinstall, but when I do that, the only drive that shows up for installation is sda1, which I do not want to repartition. Anybody know what to do? My computer is basically useless at this point, and I am not familiar enough with linux to use the rescue console. Thanks in advance
