Hi,
I have installed Windows 7 initially in my laptop. I have 3 partitions in my hard drive(50 gb, 30 gb 30 gb). I installed windows 7 in the 50 gb. Then I installed Fedora 11 in the 30 gb one. I could operate fedora 11 but I could not be able to boot windows 7. It was showing that "BOOTMGR is missing". Then I tried to repair my windows 7 but failed. So I again reinstalled windows 7. Now I can't see the boot option for fedora. My laptop directly goes to windows 7. Interestingly, I don't see the 3rd partition (30gb) where I installed fedora 11. I went to BIOS to see if there is any option. But I couldn't see anything. How can I have a option of dual boot! Any help regarding this is appreciated.
Regards
Rintu

the problem with windows is if you are using a restore disk then it wiped everything. Then reinstalled windows.
if not then put your FC11 disk in and start the rescue and you will be asked to put the grub back on the drive. or down load super grub and use it to start FC11 then reinstall Grub to your sda .
good luck

I had this problem once before. As mentioned above I booted off a live cd and simply reinstalled grub. The instructions I followed were similar to the ones here
