I specifically selected in the install that the boot loader gets written to the SUSE MBR. I wanted the Windows drive to remain uncorrupted.
Only twice in my recollection has any FOSS bootloader been installed to any MBR under this roof. The first was Corel Linux, which presented no opportunity to choose a bootloader, or its location. The second was Xandros, which essentially did the same thing. These were out of hundreds, if not over a thousand, Linux installations since last century.
IMO, putting non-legacy code into the MBR of a BIOS multiboot-with-Windows system is pointlessly and unnecessarily asking for trouble, like you've encountered and more.
Well, then we need to talk to whomever designed the SuSE install disk to understand how that code ended up in my Windows MBR, in spite of my watching carefully during installation to see that the boot loader ended up ONLY on the linux disk. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
