    Problem with booting, please help!

    Hi!
    I have two hard drives. I had Fedora 7 installed on one.
    Then I installed openSUSE on the other, but now when I boot I only get two opitions SUSE 10.2 and the failsafe.
    All my data is still on Fedora, but I can't get to it.
    there's:
    dev/sda supposed to be Fedora
    dev/sda1
    dev/sda2
    dev/sdb1 is SUSE
    dev/sdb2
    dev/sdb3
    dev/Vol00 which is Fedora
    dev/Vol01Fedora
    I tried to tinker with Boot loader, but only got SUSE boots that didn't work, so I had boot from SUSE dvd to change it back.
    Can anyone help me, please!
    I'm very inexperienced

    Hey buddy, I'm no expert either but I ran into your EXACT same problem a few days ago. I installed Fedora 7 on one #2 (sdb) of 3 drives, then installed suse10.3 on #1 drive (sda) and had a #3 drive in NTFS for backing up from windoze computers on the network. When I rebooted, I only saw suse 10.3 and failsafe. I googled til I found this thread on this site. It answered my (and your) question almost perfectly. Follow it and if you have trouble, post here again and I can walk you thru it.
