was running just suse linux on my main box for awhile. Now, i'm looking to get xp back on so i'll be able to use my video card.

pop in xp, do the install, restart and i've been getting the message "error looding operating system" using ntfs file system. I've been in fdisk and redone the partions manually.

any suggestions?

Boot to recovery console type:

fixmbr

Or you could boot to a dos floppy disk and do a

FDISK /MBR

No need to reformat or reinstall, sounds like windows install didn't overwrite the master boot record from grub..
