I turned off the power to my computer by accident which was running Linux. I turned it back on expecting everything to be fine but I get
GRUB Loading stage1.5.
GRUB loading, please wait...
and it just sits there. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hmm, you may have corrupted the boot sectors of your hard drive, what happens when you try to load from a live CD? have you tried repairing GRUB?

try booting from your install CD
what distro are you using?
usually there is an option that says "boot from hard disk"
you'll need to repair grub. google some fixes for that.

You need to boot from the CD in rescue mode. Once there mount your HD.
mount /dev/hda2 /mnt
My hd was actually hda11 so
mount /dev/hda11 /mnt
From there you can get your files back and repair grub. You may just need to run fsck disk on it though so try fsck /dev/hda11 (or /dev/hda2) before you try anything.

Speaks fluent binary
Grub is a Multiboot boot loader meaning if you have multiple Operating Systems installed such as Windows 95, Windows XP and Linux you can choose which one to boot to at startup. Without it, you would always have to boot into one partion. The one for Suse is actually fairly nice with a graphical interface.
