I was dual booting suse 9.1 and win 98 se on the same machine at my apartment. when I move into my new place and hook the machine up the power supply had went out during the move. I put another power supply in the computer and turn it on. The boot screen came up with a choice of suse or windows I choose suse and the screen went blank and didn'tj do anything after that. I shut it down and restarted the computer and choose window and it worked fine with window. I upgraded to suse 9.2 and tryed to start the computer into suse and it does the same blank screen thing. My question is how do I fix it from here.

    knoppix.
    a good book is "knoppix hacks"
    maybe use gpart (without writing) and see what it guesses.
    mount the hard drive and see if the suse file system is still there.

    if you want to rescue stuff, knoppix is your friend.
