Problems with dual boot after BIOS upgrade

#1 Post by andrey_f » Fri Sep 05, 2008 12:58 pm

I have T61, and until recently I had a pretty nice setup with WinXP Pro (SP3) / Opensuse 11 dual boot.

Today I used the ThinkPad tools to do system upgrade, which included BIOS upgrade. After this, I cannot boot my system. I have blank screen with "GRUB" line.

I assume I shouldn't have used the standard way of BIOS upgrade.... Is there any way to recover my system and fix GRUB?

Please, help!!!

Apparently, MBR was somehow overwritten. Reinstallation of GRUB following the OpenSUSE guide http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:The_Boot_Man ... on_of_GRUB fixed the problem![/url]
