Hi, i have a problem

i was installing opensuse 11, then after the install everything was fine until i logged into vista it said something about checking disk, and did 3 steps then i went to reboot back into linux and i got the follow error

starting grub
error 5

I think vista corrupted my grub, i have no idea how to fix it! right now i am using live cd because my computer doesnt boot up grup!!! help asap :’(

PS this is my first time using linux.

This is what i am thinking of doing because i only just installed opensuse, i am going to delete the linux partitions then reinstall opensuse again.

Ok before i used default settings and this is what i want.

opensuse to be installed on 20gb

so swap 2gb
/9gb
/home 20gb

Will this work?
