How do you remove opensuse installer?

Question

I recently downloaded opensuse 11.0 and decided to have a crack at it. I started the install within vista, which made me install a program that sets my next boot to the opensuse installer. When I ran the opensuse installation, it could not install GRUB or LILO for some reason. The only way for me to get opensuse going and for me to get in was to use no bootloader and then use opensuse until I shut it down. When I shut my computer down, the two options that were available after boot was:
* windows vista
*opensuse 11.0 installer (LOCAL)

These were in windows bootloader btw because I could not install GRUB or LILO. When I tried to get into Vista, it would automatically redirect me to the opensuse install even tho I had already installed it :/ I tried writing over the MBR with my vista disc, but that didn't work. I also tried restoring the system to the day before, but that didnt help either.

Basically I have spent around 5 hours on the net looking for a solution, but I can't find one.

I will immensely appreciate any help I receive.

Answer 1

you could try editing the vista bootloader using Easy BCD - free here (try removing the entry for SUSE)

VistaBootPro is similar; an alternative solution would be to use Supergrub but it isn't for the faint-hearted

either way, back up your data now as a full restore of Vista might be necessary.

Answer 2

firstly, you may desire to burn an ISO of the DVD to disk so as which you have deploy media to artwork with. SuSE might desire to allow you to partition your disk so as which you would be able to have a twin boot and the GRUB boot loader might desire to allow you to go with which your ordinary working gadget besides. the region under might desire to have each and every of the solutions you want. stable success!
