OOps!!
burnt my fingers..
I have downloaded the kde version of 10.3(64 bit) for my compaq AMD athlon laptop, and opted for enabling online repositories during the installation.. after installing morethan 2. G.B softwares from internet as well as from the CD, it directly go to reboot without asking me where the bootloader to installed?
My existing grub bootloader which used to load Vista alongwith four operating systems (Ubuntu-7.10,Pclinux-2007,granular linux,Sabayon 3.4))not found.instead windows bootmanager is warning me that it could not load vista due to corrupt file,
In my three year experience with linux and installed hundred times in my desktop with mine different distros along with Windows XP I never seen a single linux distro that damaged windows file systems ...
In a hurry I installed another distro Mandriva-2008(RC) in the partition where I allotted Suse 10.3 installation,,and edited the menu.lst file to bring my other distros in the boot loader..However vista is still unbootable it want to reinstall the system,,
