I have dual OS, WinXP and Fedora Core 1. I just reformatted my WinXP few days ago and installed it again. After i did that, i cant go to my Linux anymore. Do u guys know how to fix my bootloader? I'm using GRUB as my boatloader.

Thanks in advance.

boot up the rescue floppy or the fc1 cd1 go to rescue mode by writing "linux rescue" then make sure fc1 checks if u have fc1 allready installed then it will tell u it mounted it under /tmp/sysimage something like that when u get to command line write down make sure u mount the root directory with "chroot" then write down "grub-install" and it will reinstall ur grub into the MBR ( Master Boot Recored),also for more options check http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man...install.8.html

goodluck
