Question: Can I just restore Grub and have dual boot capabilities back or must I start over?

Yes. Before installing Win95, put Grub onto a floppy

The floppy is not necessary.

True, but it's easier to do and harder to get wrong :) John -- John Pettigrew Headstrong Games john@headstrong-games.co.uk Fun : Strategy : Price http://www.headstrong-games.co.uk/ Board games that won't break the bank Valley of the Kings: ransack an ancient Egyptian tomb but beware of mummies!

Yes.

Yes. Before installing Win95, put Grub onto a floppy so that you can get back into linux, then install Windows. Now, use the floppy to get back into linux and run the YaST bootloader module. Should configure it for you, I think, but you can add the windows section manually if needed (I'm sure someone here can give you the necessary details).

The floppy is not necessary.

Indeed.

You can use the SUSE 9.1 CD1 to boot in rescue mode, mount your rootfs in /mnt, then chroot /mnt, and

Yess, you're on track, I would do that...

"grub-install".

In a chroot environment, I would do 'grub < /etc/grub.conf/' That's what YaST would do. ;)

Then "exit", umount /mnt, reboot.

After that, add a windows section in /boot/grub/menu.lst Manually or with YaST.

Yes. :) Cheers, Leen
