Hi,
I have just completely reinstalled my laptop after problems with dual booting before (using Norton Partition Magic). I reinstalled XP - after creating 4 partitions on my 40GB laptops drive:
7GB NTFS Windows
5GB EXT2 Linux
500MB SWAP
25GB FAT32 - shared data storage for both OS's
I installed XP, all fine, then installed SuSe 10.1, also all fine.
Booted to both (via the SuSe loader) (Windows is just another option). Updated both, and had bit of play around...didnt change anything thogugh, only really installed a few apps on the windows install.
So, anyway, now when I start the laptop it just comes up with:
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (636k lower / 1039174k upper memory)
[Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the forst word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename. ]
grub>
And that's it.....now I really have no clue where to go from here>?! I know you can edit the grub config - maybe that;s why it['s not booting the OS....
I didnt use any other boot loader as this did the job fine before...
Any ideas? Even how to check the config?
Thanks in advance.
