can't boot linux
 
I reinstalled windows and now my boot loader is gone, so I can't boot linux. what do i do? I am pretty sure, that linux is still there, since windows sees only half of the hard drive. I use RedHat 7

what do you mean by you can't boot linux? are you saying your bootloader is gone? or are you saying when you try to boot it you get an error of some sort?

Under one scenario Windows would have overwritten the MBR where your Linux bootloader would have been. - What Linux distribution are you using? - with some its possible to go into rescue mode and restore your Linux bootloader then configure it to include an entry for Windows.
