That is exactly what happened. I used the default options when installing Windows. I think it erased the master boot record or something.
I now recall that this happened to me before, about 2 years ago, when I was trying to install a dual boot system. Windows erased the grub loader at the time, and whoever helped me get my system back had me do something in a terminal with adjusting the grub loader. It has something to do with the grub loader.
Run fdisk from a Linux CD to set the Linux partition containing /boot to be bootable. That should undo the damage Windows caused. What is the command line and options for fdisk that I need to type in to make it so it is bootable?
I think that /sda2 is supposed to be the bootable partition. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
