GRUB won't load now

[seth_turner_04]

I was in a hurry to shut my computer off so I just held down the power button. The next time I tried booting up my laptop, it just keeps rebooting when it tries to load GRUB. Normally, I get a screen that lets me select either Windows or Linux to boot to. It's not getting that far now though to let me select one.

I tried reinstalling GRUB from my SuSE 10.2 cd, but it gives me an error 21.

Any tips on how to get this going again?

I tried reinstalling GRUB from my SuSE 10.2 cd, but it gives me an error 21.

what did you do to re-install GRUB?
boot up from SUSe Installation CD/DVD and select Installation. Select Upgrade option in next screen. dont select any new package. just click next, next.... Installer will re-install GRUB.

Thanks. That let me boot back into SuSE.

I have a new problem now though. Windows doesn't show up in GRUB now. Do I need to copy and paste something into the menu.lst file so that I can boot select Windows during bootup?

It still shows my /Windows directory under the file system and everything is still there.

add this code in menu.lst file.

title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

i assumed that Windows is installed in the First Partition and you have single harddisk. in case it doesn't work, post the output of 'fdisk -l' command.
