http://forums.opensuse.org – Hello, I will first say that I am sorry if this information is already somewhere on the forums, If it is I cant think of a good search string for it. I have seen many similar problems but none with the exact issue I am having so please don't half read and flame me. I recently installed openSuse 11.2 on my machine, I launched the installer from Windows Vista. openSuse installed a temporary bootloader for the install. I installed and not everything is fine but I will focus on one problem per a topic. When I restarted my machine I had the usual options of Suse Desktop and Windows vista. So I selected windows vista as I wanted to go into vista. I was greeted with the install boot loader so I selected vista again. However it loaded the installer. I retried several times to make sure I wasn't doing it wrong. I can not access my windows partion and my openSuse is having to many issues to validly function on. I need help. (Distributions)

semi-broken Grub / BCD 3 years 19 weeks ago

I am working without a net here. All of my data, terrabyte of family photos...etc.

I recently upgraded from opensuse 11.0 to 11.2 and in the process lost my windows vista entry in the bootloader.

My vista is installed on a different hard drive from opensuse.

How can I recreate the entry?

Thanks, -- Govind

openSUSE install, and Wubi 3 years 19 weeks ago

Yes I have a Wubi install of Ubuntu 8.04.01 LTS upgraded online to Ubuntu 9.10 in the windows/vista partition.

I recently installed openSUSE 11.2 from LXF magazine disk and lost the original Grub for windows/ubuntu.

The new Grub from openSUSE boots windows/vista but not Ubuntu, although its listed, in when I try I get:

I have a Vista/Ubuntu dual boot set up (with Grub to manage it). I am about to upgrade from vista home basic 32 bit to windows 7 ultimate. Before I do though- I want to make sure that this will not mess with my boot loader.
