Dual boot question


Hello,

I just reinstalled windows on my computer but now the dual boot menu wont show up anymore. Does anyone know how i can get it back. Im pretty sure i didnt override my mandrake partition as there is still a partition of the harddrive missing.

Can someone tell me how to put back the dual boot?, the distro is mandrake 9.2 and windows XP

thanks in advance

You should be able to boot with a boot diskette or rescue CD then run "lilo -M /dev/hda"
