Default Re: "Boot Manager is missing" Error...

So he has one HD plugged in which is SATA 2.
It housed a previous version of openSuse.

When you did the install, was this a New Installation and the installer reformatted the drive?

Or did you choose the update option?

It would seem very odd to me if you did a New Installation that reformmatted the drive that you would get that message. Have you run the repair option off of the DVD and checked the install & boot loader?

I do not have enough details on your bios to say anything has caused the problem. One thing I do which someone could probably come up with a better way, if I have an Linux install problem that is partition related, I throw in a Windows disc and do a full NTFS format, power the unit down when it completes before it starts copying files, and then I start my Linux install.
