Angry can only boot in safe mode
Suse 11.1

I had loaded Suse 11.1 and dual booted with Vista in the MBR.This has been working for a few months. After an update.

I get only suse and safe suse in the menu.

suse goes to the login text only.

Safe mode works with slight screen problems.

I have run the repair from the supply disk and it finds a problems in the boot area.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am only a newbie at this.

The partitions seem to be ok, with data, including the windows partition.

Suse works fine in safe mode?

I seem to have lost the boot up MBR and the X window config?

Thanks
