I have a netbook (with no CD) that was dual booting Windows XP and OpenSUSE 11. I wanted to remove opensuse so I (in opensuse) changed the boot record to point to windows, etc but it screwed up.
I have a bootable Fedora on USB stick that allows me to see my entire disk including OpenSUSE. How can i fix this? Are there files I can edit in the OpenSUSE disk? Is there anything in Fedora (it's a live dc on usb) I can do to fix this issue? Thank you for any help you can give! |

Yes.
I figured out the issue! First in console, I did "/sbin/fdisk -lu" and it showed two active boot partitions (the windows XP install at sda1 and a "W95 Ext'd" at sda4. (What is that?) So then I did "/sbin/fdisk /dev/sda" and then did option "a" and chose partition #4, and then "w" (to write the changes), and restarted and it boots perfectly into windows! |
