    Hi Steve, Although I'm far from an expert, I have made enuf mistakes to
    give you a few ideas.

    First I would boot from the dvd and start the install routine. In a
    couple of screens you will be given the options to Install, Repair , or
    boot from the harddrive. Select boot from the harddrive and see if it
    comes up ok, If it does, then go into Yast and let it set up Grub.

    That's the shorthand version.

    I would have to boot the dvd to give you more explicit instructions. The
    nice thing is it wont do anything re: installation for several screens and
    would give you ample warning to abort.

    Richard
