Hi fazer,
Thank you for the reply,
But i probably didn't explain my problem correctly. When I boot from the DVD and choose other then boot installed system, the system starts and stop in the middle with a prompt for root password. I can see everything in my / partition but I can't go to /home (separate partition).
Any idea ?
Thank you

a écrit : To fast acces to opensuse I prefer to run system from instalation CD/DVD and when you asked to update or new install chose other and boot instaled system
After boot you go to TaST and bootloadre module and install new one :)

Hi
I have a BIG problem.
I have a brand new Dell with 2 sata drive. I installed Opensuse 10.3 on /dev/sdb while WinXp was installed (factory) on dev/sda/ Everything went smoothly and I spent 2 days to install and recover data from my old PC (dead).
However, after 2 days, S.M.A.R.T indicated that dev/sda was dying. (the drive with Windows and... grub on the MBR). Dell promptly send a new disk, and I replaced the faulty one.
This drive has nothing on it.
I thought that, booting on the SuSe 10.3 dvd and opening a root console to reinstall grub would do the trick. I did that once, when I upgraded a dual boot machine from win 2000 to win XP and had to restore the MBR.
So i booted from the dvd, choosed installation,>more option, >boot existing system
The installer found my / partition (dev/sdb1) but stop before allowing GUI. It asked for a root password. I gave it and had a prompt.
then i typed : grub find /boot/grub/stage1 /// found (hd1,0) which is correct (dev /sdb1) root (hd1,0) setup (hd0) quit
I rebooted and nothing !!!
What did i missed ? Should i install grub ? ie grub-install hd0 ? I thought the previous command would do it ? Should I install windoz on dev/sda ? Should I install opensuse 10.3 on dev/sda and during installation choose /dev/sdb3 as home directory ? Should I install Opensuse 10.3 on dev/sda and then move all the data from /dev/sdb ?
the two last seems to be great ideas, however, it means that I will have to start again all the installation !! How safe is the second one ?
I really need to boot the installed system very quickly !!!
Thank you for your help.
Matthias
