[Wylug-help] SUSE cock-up

[scott]

Hello

 

I installed SUSE 10.2 a while ago and it upgraded the kernel and I haven't
been able to fix it.  Fine no problem I will use another distro.

 

Unfortunately:

Open SUSE 10.2 - even though I told the installer not to- has put something
on my windows partition hard drive that makes it boot GRUB from that hard
drive not the linux hard drive.  So now I am in fear of, if I take SUSE off
the hard drive will my windows become useless.  

 

Question:

Is there anyway I can wipe the linux drive and install another distro
without disturbing what is currently let me load windows.  As I believe what
has happened is the boot info is on the linux drive but grub on the windows
hard drive, as I created - on the linux drive - a /boot partition so could
get to know grub and mess with different distros.

 

King regards

 

Scott
