Hello

I have a dual boot Thinkpad (R40 with XP / Linux) and want to remove
Ubuntu and install openSUSE without touching my M$ XP (required for
work). How do I uninstall GRUB, reinstate LILO / openSUSE, and leave
the M$ XP partition bootable from LILO? Linux partition maybe overwritten.
Thanks for all your help in advance.

What makes you think you need to get rid of grub? It is installed as the
default boot loader with SuSE.

Thanks for all your help, I have now managed to install 10.0 over the
weekend, dual booted with XP no problems. BTW my data was backed up and on a
separate partition. I will now have to get my wireless PCMCIA card working!
(It worked during install but not after) I will look on the lists etc to see
if I can find solution.

Cheers
Geoff
