The Windows Repair Disc enabled me to get the windows boot manager back. The question still remains though: how did the installation of openSUSE screw up the windows boot manager? Any chance that it resides at the end of a partition and therefore got removed when the partition was resized?
I didn't see you respond to http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2011-05/msg00127.html
Was there a question?
Alternatively, the bootmgr file may need to be in a certain location in the partition that got changed to an invalid location or had a checksum change caused by the resize process.
Yep, perhaps something like that.
Did you think to try resizing using the built-in Windows resizer?
No, I'm not a Windows person at all - what concerns me is that we (openSUSE) somehow got this wrong.
I would expect a native tool like that to be more reliable than a foreign one from a competitive product. You did back up first as recommended, right? ;-)
No, of course not :-) Besides, everything is working fine now. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
