Did partition with partition magic now can't boot windows
 

I bought another hd I put windows 98se then partition magic. I then made a partition of 20 for Xandros 3.0. I installed xandros which seems to work fine. Now I can't access my windows partition.

When I go into my other hd under qtparted it says it is hidden. How do I unhide it?

I've read on here not to do a reinstall. I put the partition magic disk in to boot to that and it wants dos commands. I don't know how to do dos. When windows tries to load it goes to an A prompt wanting a \windows\command. I don't know what it wants.

Is there a way to fix this through xandros? Did xandros loading Lilo do something? I've seen that on here too.

I am not very computer literate so I do need simplified directions, I apologize in advance.

might have got more responses in a linux or dual booting forum rather than a programming forum but my guess is....

When you installed xandros lilo overwrote with MBR so that it only boots into the xandros system. What you need to do then is edit the lilo configuration so that on boot you have the option of booting the windows or xandros systems. There is plenty of information around on how to dual boot linux and windows. I havent' used xandros but in the system administration there may be an interface that allows you to edit your lilo settings.

I would like to give more indepth info but I haven't used xandros and haven't had to trouble shoot my boot in ages.
