PLEASE HELP - URGENT - CAN'T BOOT - CAN'T REINSTALL!
I have been curious about Linux for a while so because I had to reinstall Windows on my laptop, I downloaded SUSE Linux 9.1 Personal to try out between my Windows installations.
I like it but now I have to go back and reinstall Windows. I couldn't find any obvious way to boot from the CD from Linux. I spent a few hours on the internet looking for information on how to boot from a CD in SUSE Linux. No luck. In the help files on my computer I found some information in YAST about changing the boot order. I played around with that, but seeing that it looked complicated, I tried to reset the settings back to normal by clicking "reset" or "start over".
Now my computer won't boot.
Install Windows, then install Linux. When you install Linux, you should be given the opportunity to configure the boot loader, so that you can run either OS. Also, there is a "Live Eval" SuSE image, available for download.
