I was dual booting winxp and linux. I had to reinstall winxp and with that lost the ability to choose dual booting. I know that linux is still installed. What should I do to get access to it again??

Hi, what distribution are you using?, maybe you can put your Linux CD on and type something like: "linux rescue" or enter a rescue mode.
By the way, all windozes do this, they are selfish motherf%&, lol

running suse. Tried popping in the disc and got the recovery place but it asked me for a login and my root login didn't work.

Are you using grub or lilo as your bootloader?
What happens if you put the cd and reinstall only grub or lilo ?
I tell you this because, it never asked for my password when i rescued my box(FC2).
Maybe you can use http://www.toms.net/rb/; but try with the cd first
