Hi all,

As in title I have comitted a heinous crime..
I had a Suse / XP dual boot machine with three HDDs..

I have Suse on one and XP on a second - and added a third as spare. And it happily booted XP or Suse (Suse by default) - from Grub.
BUT this is the heinoous bit - I PUT VISTA RC1 on the third disc and it has installed its on M$ boot loader and (as I slightly suspected it would) rubbed out GRUB !!

Please, how can I restore Grub, so I have now a triple boot machine !!

As I say, I have three HDDs, one with XP, one with Suse and the third now with Vista RC1. I am sure it must be easy to reinstate Grub - and I am sure I could reinstall Suse and get the machine triple booting, but I went to a lot of effort to get Suse as I wanted it and I don't want a clean copy of Suse, I just want to boot into it..

Many thanks everyone.

Do "B5" using a linux LiveCD (of course altering /dev/hda4 for your suse "/" partition).

Thanks.

I thought there would be an easy way.

But what does B5 do, and will any live CD (Knoppix etc) suffice please?

SORRY SORRY I have read and printed the thread.

MANY THANKS !

Cheers again.

Any live CD will work. If you read section B5 of the link above, it basically tells you to mount your suse install, chroot into the install (giving you suse's root priveledges) and then run grub-install to reinstall grub from your suse partition to the MBR using suse's menu.lst.
