Many years ago it was possible to create a boot (floppy) disk for those times when loading windowz after Linux your boot partition was lost. Is it possible to do this still only create a boot CD disk with your image on so you can re- load grub?

Thanks

The normal SuSE install DVD supports this via the rescue menu selection.

I don't recall if the LiveCDs do or not.

Greg Hi Greg, Thanks for the reply, Do you know how to do this using the rescue menu? I am fearful that as I install windows on a partition on my machine it will overwrite the boot sector and I will not be able to boot into Linux again. Hence I'm looking for the command(?) mechanism to be able to re-establish the boot sector.
