Can't Load Suse Linux after installation
-

The grub bootloader doesn't run anymore because XP overwrites your mbr when you install it. You can boot from the Suse install disk, select Installation, and when you get to the setup screen, select Boot Installed System. This will get you to a command prompt on your SuSE install, where you can type
Code:grub-install /dev/hda
There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

Thank You Very Much
Thanks so much for your quick reply. I really appreciate it. I am assuming that GRUB is already part of the SUSE Linux distribution?
I don't need to download it separately?
Do I need to type in the letter of the hard drive or just the code that you posted?
Thanks again for your help.

Grub is SuSE's default bootloader and is, indeed, included in the distro. From your first post, it looks like you only have one hard drive in the system, which would make it EXTREMELY likely it would be /dev/hda. In that case, the code I gave you should work fine if you enter it as root.

Actually, I have 2 hard drives
Actually, I have 2 hard drives. The drive that Linux is on is C and the other drive is D. So would I type 'c/dev/hda' to install Grub?

No Luck
Hmmm...well, I still wasn't able to load SUSE properly. I was able to boot from the installation disk by following the instructions that Flatline gave in their previous post, but I never got to the command prompt. When I selected the BOOT INSTALLED SYSTEM option, Linux scrolls through a lot of commands and then boots. I never get the chance to install Grub. I am running SUSE 9.1 Personal Edition. Any suggestions?
