be carefull!
i think this is how grub works.
grub alters the mbr AND puts some files stage1, stage2 menu.lst in a directory /boot/grub on your linux partition.
so if you wippe your SUSE grub cannot find these files and will fail.
now if you are able to delete all BUT the /boot directory, have the hd-install to your linux partition WITHOUT formating and liloing, then if you change /boot/grub/menu.lst your done.
or you could first repear your XPboot (recovery cd)
then do a DSL hd-install
then use i.e. knoppix 3.3 to to a grub-install
then change /boot/grub/menu.lst :
| Code Sample |
# boot menu configuration file
timeout 10
default 0
fallback 0
title Windows XP
#unhide (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
|
you should have your XP running again
then add something like:
| Code Sample |
title Damnsmall Linux 0.8.0
root (hd0,1)
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/linux24
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/minirt24.gz
|
and DSL should be an extra choice
I run a simular configuration. yet not a hd-install but a poorman's
