Re: Help: Linux disappears after WinXP installs

options to choose either from WInXP or Linux). I am sure I didn't delet
it.

I have all the CDs that I used for the installation. What should I do
to recover the Linux? Help.

Wondesen,


Which Linux distro are you talking about?

If a Fedora or Red Hat, put in disc 1 and run rescue mode and see if it recognises your Linux installation. If so ask it to rebuild your MBR.

Success. I am told it should work, but did not have a chance to test it. Do not have a dual boot environment.

I think SuSe distro's have a possibility to do this too.


Kind regards,
