Loaded Windows, Linux won't boot.

pk21 · 09-23-2002, 02:52 PM

I had my system running Red Hat 7.3 for a while now, but today i tryed to install windows 2000 server on the same disk. Big mistake!

Now it only boots windows. I cant get it to boot Red Hat anymore. I tryed with fdisk from a floppy to change active partitions but even that wouldnt work. It just hanged there and wasnt doing anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

Boot with a boot disk to get into Linux, reload your boot loader of choice, like Lilo or Grub..

also edited your thread title to a more helpful one

I wrote boot.img to a floppy with rawrite. Now what???
Do i load in rescue mode?
Do i have to erase my bootloader with format?

What do i have to do?

ok, i have made a bootflop and am right back in Red Hat!!!
Thanks for the help!

But how can i get my computer to start grub when starting my computer without using a bootflop?

Now it is time to search here on how to configure dual boot system, really, the search button on top sometimes acts like a wizard.
