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. I just get a black screen that says: GRUB Loading Stage 2... graphics file "(hd1,1)/boot/message" missing, press a key to continue... I press a key and it brings me to a screen that says: Linux Failsafe If I try to boot either, it says: Error 18: selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS I tried pressing "e" for edit (Linux) and it says: kernel (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317 splash=silent desktop resume=/dev/hda1 showopts initrd (hd1,1)/bout/initrd I didn't mess with any of the above lines. Can someone please tell me how I can get my system from this point to a point where I can boot an installation CD from my D: drive? I would like to eventually put Linux on a desktop, but I need to put Windows back on this laptop ASAP. If you could CC: a reply to my other email also (joshucohen@ (it's a hotmail acct)) it would be appreciated. Thank you!!
