That's complete nonsense - I think you mean "have not been able to", or
"don't know how to", rather than "cannot".

The boot loader does not "get stuck", by definition! Windws may get
stuck, but that's something else. So make sure that your linux
partitions are not marked as anything windows may like toinvestigate.
Show your partition table.

That's not "gets stuck"! That's a loop, not getting stuck. Obviously
you have put the wrong entry in your boot config, so that it jumps to its
own boot record rather than the windows one.

Well, fix that! Do it properly instead of doing it wrongly.

Of course you can!

No you don't.

Of course you do! You can write zeros anywhere! Man cp! man lilo. Man
dd. Man anything at all instead of sitting there saying "I cannot".
