switch from Suse 9.0 pro and Slack 10 and problems with grub

wLancer · 12-02-2004, 07:07 PM

i recently switched from Suse 9.0 pro to Slack. after i rebooted after slack installation the boot was set to the NTFS section of the HD so it tried to load Grub the suse boot thing. it starts to load then just sits there. I was wondering if there was anyway to remove grub from the ntfs partition. i dont have a floppy drive either and i cant boot to ANY OS right now.
Any help would be awesome and greatly appreciated.

boot to your slack CD,

Slackawre uses lilo not grub so run lilo to repair your mbr

i had already installed lilo when i installed slack is there some way i can overwrite grub?
