Lost Linux partition

Hi all, I had a SUSE install on my main Windows machine but since reinstalling windows I don't have the option to boot into SUSE, is there an easy way to get this back? Thanks

U prob just need to reinstall grub boot loader since windows has prob written over it.

ok, cheers mate, might try that or might just install an updated version of SUSE over the top. Thanks

Yes, Windows is possessive and will have written over your MBR without asking you first. You can probably reinstall GRUB from a Linux CD.

yup, get a live cd of any distro (Suse will probably be the safest though). Mount the /boot/ partition (or wherever you have grub config installed) then reinstall it.
