Dual Boot But no Linux
Hi, i recently split my h/d in several partitions and in one of them i install Windows XP. Then i install Linux Debian (I use one partition as swap (500mb) and another partition as EXT2 - File System) completely. After a reboot my computer does not ask me which OS i want to use and automatically boot to Windows XP. What i must do to make the pc ask me which OS i want to use?

A "Live CD" Distro is the tool that can help. Most have Grub and you can also use commands to see your hd partitions.

Then create a mount point wherever you want. Code:
mkdir /mnt/disk Code:
mount -t FS_TYPE /dev/DISK_DRIVE /mnt/disk Code:
chroot /mnt/disk /bin/bash Install a boot loader, configure it (I guess you'll want to add the Windows partition there) and enjoy. =) |
Hi again..

I try a lot of bootloaders copying the files to a disk but none works.. Then, what steps shall i do to complete my request? Thanks |
You might be better off reinstalling Debian, and installing Grub to the MBR when it gets to that stage.
