After the install the bootloader is not installed into the root partition, instead it was written into the disks MBR and overwrote the existing one. Tried it again with a seperate boot-partition and selected the bootloader to be installed in the bootpartition, but again the MBR was overwritten. My partiton layout: ws01:/home/oliver # fdisk -l Platte /dev/sda: 500.1 GByte, 500107862016 Byte 255 Köpfe, 63 Sektoren/Spuren, 60801 Zylinder Einheiten = Zylinder von 16065 × 512 = 8225280 Bytes Disk identifier: 0xd0c52c97 Gerät boot.

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE parallel to a existing windows, both on the same disk 2. Restart the machine Actual Results: After the install and a reboot the first thing i see is GRUB starting up. Expected Results: After the reboot windows should boot up because the windows bootloader should not have been manipulated in any way. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
