What do you do if you screw up your boot loader

[Jackattack511]

Thankfully I can still access my windows hard drive, but my linux one is another story. I was trying to get suse 9.0 to recconize my other hard drive and give me the option of booting from it. It would have been there, but I removed the hard drive, just to be sure I didn't accidently format it in the process of installing linux. I go into the YaST configurator and in to the boot loader options and fiddle around a little bit, and let me tell you I wish I would have just stayed away.



Now when I boot i get to grub, but when I click on linux (to boot to it) it gives me an error. I can go to the command line of grub or edit the command there already, but what ever I try I come up with nothing. If I could just get back into linux I can restore everything to what it was. Do you need more information, or do you guys have any Ideas. Thanks in advance. It pisses me off becuase I just got the nvidia drivers working today, and now I screw it up again.

Please give details about your entire hard disk layout - it sounds like you've got GRUB and Win32 living on one hard disk and SuSE 9 living on another hard disk, and after you added a third hard disk you fUx0r3d the boot loader and can't boot SuSE anymore. The most likely thing is that GRUB is looking in the wrong place.

It's ok he's sorted it at Linuxforum.
