Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: nothereforever@hotmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 SUSE/3.6.10-0.3.1 Firefox/3.6.10 i mistakenly put boot loader in the MBR. then windows came along and ereased it. but i didnt want to reinstall SUSE, and i didnt know much about the command line stuff and tools. so i wanted to use the setup disk to fix it. there was help on the net that said the setup had the ability to fix it but SUSE 11.3 didnt have it, it must have been removed ! (thus the "major" severity selected) details here, forum post 5: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/install-boot-login/446087-m... so i had to do a long battle with the setup program till it gave me what i wanted, the setup of the bootloader. but i think you can fix this and make customising the already installed installation as easy as installing a new one. so i ask that you present the same options to the user with the SUSE on HDD already and to the user who wants to install. this could make stuff a whole lot easier. Charlie. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install with boot loader on MBR 2.have windows add a partition to the disk 3.reboot to find no more MBR boot loader 4: fight the installer to put it back on, but this time on the root drive. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
