I can not get into XP again

chinaundead · 03-21-2004, 04:04 AM

Hi,
I installed Mandrake 10 several days ago (double boot system, Mandrake and XP)
I found out that I can not start my XP, when I select XP when booting, it just reloads Grub
When in Linux, I go to /mnt/win_c, nothing there, but the disk space is not empty, 3.2G/10G
It seems my XP is still there, but I can not get into it.

I have some important files in my XP, any solutions I can boot my XP again?

Thank you !!!!!!
