Hello. I hope I will not call the wrath of everyone, but I have a small (or maybe big) problem with GRUB and GRUB2.
I have a desktop containing several HDDs, one of which is partitioned in at least 3 partitions. The first installed system was OpenSUSE 13.1 32-bit. Then I installed a copy of Windows 7 Prof. from my GF. However the serial codes didn´t match so I downloaded the right version to match with my serial code and installed that one by running the iso file from within the old Windows 7. It rewrited the mbr, naturally, and then the windows loader offerred me 2 Windows 7 to choose from. Anyway, the friend who installed OpenSUSE for me sent me the "repair GRUB after Windows" so I tried to do that but I fear I did it from the OpenSUSE running from livestick and I somehow srewed it up.
Long story short: Now when I boot up, it jumps into GRUB 0.97, from which I am able to manually go
(root hd0,0
makeactive
chainloader +1
boot)
into something I believe is GRUB2. From there, I can select Windows 7, which leads me into Windows loader which then leads me to the operating system. However doing this is really annoying, so is there any way to get rid of GRUB 0.97?
I am a noob, so sorry if I didn´t attach everything you need, will try to remedy that on request.
