Ok Dave.
Thanks for the information. I cannot quite follow what I have to do. Would be more easy, if being able to use yast, but as you can see in my screenshots, I'm unable to boot.

I believe you solved this part already, but those links do not work for me: ] Network Timeout ] ] The server at www.urbakken.dk is taking too long to respond.
As I cannot boot, i also cannot run the fdisk -l command to see the info for the HDD
Yes, you can. You boot the DVD, rescue system (manual or automatic) and type ctrl-alt-f1..f10 to switch to the text consoles. At least two of them are a bash prompt where you can type some commands, like the fdisk one. Another trick you may learn now is to have two installed partitions on your hard disk. If one Linux is hosed, you have another one you can use on emergencies and for repairs. It can be a small Linux, text only, or one with a small graphics desktop (not kde nor gnome). Or, you can have a small live distro on CD. It may be openSUSE, or something like knopix. There is also a "supergrub" ISO you can download and use to recover faulty grub installs. In any case, being a bit familiar with text mode Linux can be very useful for emergencies. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
