Due to some booting problems with Windows Vista Home Premium

1. I unplugged the power and data cables to the SATA 1 HD where Windows Vista HP 32-bit was previously installed
2. left only the power and data cables plugged to the SATA 2 HD where opensuse linux 11.1 64-bit was previously installed
3. ran Parted Magic 4.2 (2009) and deleted the three (3) opensuse linux 11.1 X64 partitions
4. installed again opensuse 11.1 X64

When I entered into the BIOS and changed the booting devices order to boot from the SATA 2 HD, the following message appeared onscreen

BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart

However, I can boot opensuse linux thru its Installation DVD, and it will work well.

I ran Parted Magic and it gives the following readings

...............................................Mou nt point...........Flags
/dev/sda1 ..... linux-swap
/dev/sda2 ..... ext3.............../media/sda2...........boot
/dev/sda3...... ext3.............../media/sda3

The motherboard is an Asus M3N-HT Deluxe Series, and the CPU is an AMD AM2+ 7750 Dual-Core processor.

I will appreciate your kind assistance in knowing the code lines that should be entered into the appropriate oss linux 11.1 files.

Once things become stable I will work then with the other o/s switching from the 32 to the 64-bit version. While working with this the booting problems arose.
