There is another option. You can resize partition ID 4 to some 10 GB, format with ext3 and install 10.3 as a rescue system where you will have all tools available. Boot loader should be installed in boot sector of partition like current.
Yet another option is to use grub prompt that you have: grub> to repair boot configuration.
Some tips can be picked up from: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:The_Boot_Manager_Grub and http://en.opensuse.org/GRUB has few usefull links.
The Ubuntu disk can be used to mount /dev/sda6 (ID 03) and see what is installed in /boot and /boot/grub directories. If it works like Knoppix than partition should be already mounted as read only and presented as icons on desktop.
It's very good to have options; thanks for all this information. I am very grateful for the helpfulness of this group. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel REAL similes/metaphors by high school students; #13: The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
