my Old/new problem
 

I recently reinstalled WindowsXP in my PC,and as I thought the grub screen show these message :
loading Grub....
error 17
and stopped.
then I installed bootmagic, and as you thought it sees Linux and windos. when I referred to Linux. the previous screen appeared again.
can anyone help me?
I can't login to Linux,I just use Windows now

Use the rescue unction of the installation cd/dvd and reinstall grub.

I have replied to your post
installing LInux when you allready have XP

I have installed it from my friend cds. they were 5 cds
which of them is rescue unction?
I'm sorry but I'm new user to Linux

He means the rescue function, it is on the first cd.
You might try this, but if you are new to linux, you wil not know much about terminals.
You have to read in the beginning how to get root in rescue.
Than you can type: grub, and hit enter.
If grub returns like this: grub>
you type: root (hdo,1) and hit enter.
If grub returns again: grub>
you type: setup (hd0)

That is all.

I have posted you the problem which occurred when I tried to do that
after I typed root (hd0,1)
it appeared the file system on drive c which there is WinXP. because the message showed that the file system is fat.anyway
i typed setup (hd0)
and error 15 appears
again what can I do to enter my Suse

Not sure about the exact detals in suse, but this is pretty much the same in any rescue function : at the boot prompt type 'linux rescue'. If the system informs you that the root partition has been mounted to somewhere, take note of where it is, if not, mount it yourself.

To do this you'll need to know which partition is your root partition. 'fdisk -l' may help to refresh your memory. Check if any directories are available under /mnt to mount to ('ls /mnt') and use one that's available or create one yourself ('mkdir /mnt/<dirname>'). Then mount with a command like:
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /mnt/<dirname> (/dev/hda3 should be changed to correspond to your root partition)

If it's mounted you'll need to change into your installed root by typing 'chroot /mnt/<location of mounted root>'

Once that's done reinstall grub with 'grub-install /dev/hda'

My replies are in the other thread.
If you succeeded, let me know?

What other thread?

Ah, this one.

Yes that one!

I only think he died, or installed new....

good manners are hard to get by (maybe he'll make amends next year - which is in about 2 hours :))

BTW: Happy New-Year!:D

Yep, welcome to 2006!
