Missing Grub

nmsuaussie · 05-14-2007, 11:18 AM

Ok, so I have a dual boot on my laptop, with one partition Fedora 6 and one Windows XP. I was going to install Suse to replace the Fedora 6, so I went in through Windows Computer Management and deleted the Fedora partitions and reformatted them. Now, however, when I try to boot, it gives the the manufacturer screen, and then goes to a black screen with "GRUB" in the top left corner. What do I need to do to get it to boot in the XP partition so I can fix things?

Why don't you install Suse and reinstall a boot manager on th MBR. I'm not sure what the suse default boot manager is.

Then once you do this, you can add Windows XP to the OS list if Suse doesn't add it automatically (it should).

EDIT: What ever you do make sure you don't mess up your XP partition.
