I was having win2k and linux AS 3.0. Yesterday i formated win2k.
After formating and installing all the softwares in win2k. i restarted my pc while booting i didnt see linux OS in the boot menu. the win2k is directly booting.i checked the "notepad /boot.ini" in that, i didnt see any entry for linux.
So, what i have to add in the boot.ini to get the menu to choose the OS while booting.
For your information: I am using GRUB.
Do you want win32? You installed it and you can use it, any problems?
And seriously.
I saw Mandrake distro. It has a special CD boot mode where some tools are accessed, including tool for restoring a MBR (main boot record). If your distro does not have this capability do not worry.
Another way.
Boot from your Linux distro and mount your root FS (e.g. you attach it to the /mnt). If you have a distinct boot partition, then mount it too in the /boot directory of the JUST mounted FS (e.g. /mnt/boot). Then type 'chroot /mnt' (or another directory you choose). Check out your /etc/grub.conf (I do not use grub, so I do not know how its config file named, hope you will find it) and type 'grub'. Then reboot.
