hi everybody... i am a new member in your community..

i have recently installed redhat linux 5.1. on f: drive
Dto the threat of virus i reinstalled my xp again on c: drive
now i am not able to access grub window of linux
what should i do to retrieve and use linux without reinstalling my linux os

- boot on the Red Hat install cd
- select 'Linux Rescue'
- no need to start networking
- say yes to search for linux install
- type 'chroot /mnt/sysimage'
- type 'grub-install /dev/sda' # probably the correct device
- exit
- reboot

cheers
