Fixing Grub via rescue mode [WAS: Re: [opensuse] Creating a boot CD]

Philip, I changed the subject and am top-posting. I don't have my notes for doing that with me today, but I'm sure someone can tell you how fixing grub after installing windows. is done. Likely there is a howto page on the wiki since it has to be done so often. Greg On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 6:02 AM, Philip Burness wrote:

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.

Best Regards
