Hello:
My mbr was overwritten by windows. I would like to boot an installed opensuse 12.1 and reinstall grub onto mbr. Earlier in such cases I could use the install DVD to boot an installed system (in repair installed system menu). The repair option has been removed from openSUSE 12.1 install DVD. (It seems I read about this somewhere that there was not enough resource to maintain it.) Is it possible to use the 12.1 DVD and load an installed system? How?
Thanks,

Yes you can use the DVD to load the installed system but it is a bit fiddly. 1. Simply start the machine with the DVD go through the initial step of setting the language and keyboard. 2. Abort the installation. This should drop you into a "text" mode (sort of). 3. From there you can select "start installation" and press ok. 4. The next screen with present you with the option to "boot installed system". You select that. 5. On the next screen you will have to select the partition to be booted. I don't know if you want to use that method or the others that have been suggested.
