Installing GRUB in SUSE
 

Hi,

I first installed SUSE ,,, when my XP is NTFS fs.... then I have no problems.. regarding boot loader and after I reinstalled XP with Fat32 fs. Then I am not able to get Boot Loader..

Can neone help me in this matter...

Windows overwrote your MBR (which is where the bootloader is stored) with it's own MBR. You'll have to use the rescue function from your SuSE cd.

Boot from cd and follow on-screen instructions (you may need to use F2 or F3 to see more) to boot in rescue mode.

Then you'll need to reinstall GRUB. to do this you need to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to to include XP if you want it to be available, although I suppose you can also do that after you get SuSE back up. Then run the command:

# grub-install /dev/hda

That will install grub back onto your MBR

Another option is to use the Repair Mode when you boot from your SUSE CD.

It should be available in the menu, but on SuSE 9.1 Personal you need to apply this trick:
