I have no clue what to do. I had installed Fedora 16 thinking i would try it for a while. Then i decide to come back to openSUSE…So i pop in the install cd and all goes well…But when i reboot it fails and says there is no active partition…I have tried deleting all partitions and different mounting points and different mounting of the bootloader all with no avail…But when i install fedora back or mint it works just fine…i have even tried fresh made live cd’s…still no luck…what would make this come up suddenly? More importantly is how to i fix it? I did find a similar thread but it wasn’t very useful since i couldn’t do the command line cod being i’m using the live cd now…Can someone please help me?
You need to post your fdisk info
su -
fdisk -l
Hi Cal! Well i did get it working. I remembered i had this issue last time i tried fedora a long long time ago…So i managed to fond an old ubuntu cd and installed that then reinstalled opensuse again then it worked…But there has been something i haven’t been able to figure out that is somewhat related…My hard drive is supposed to be 750gb but there is only 700gb accounted for…is there a way to see where the other 50gb went to?

750 GB or 750 GiB? There is a difference.

you are trying to install suse and fedora on same machine??

It’s used up in ext4 partitions, you will see a folder called ‘lost+found’.
Sometimes your system might crash or a power failure might take the machine down. Either way, at the next boot, a lengthy filesystem check (the speed of this check is dependent on the type of filesystem that you actually use. Fsck will go through the system and try to recover any corrupt files that it finds. The result of this recovery operation will be placed in this directory.
Some folks reduce the size of this dir with tune2fs
