Hello!

I have one maybe stupid question (I'm too lame to read a FAQ :)).

At the beginning, I install the Linux and marked BOOT option "Boot system
from MBR (Master Boot record)" but when I install second system (MS Windows
XP) my Linuks boot manager (GRUB) wasn't appear on the screen, computer
starts Windows. Why? MBR is rewritened? How can I repaire it?

I will be very happy when you help me. Thank you.
Best Wishes. Igor.
