Bootloader problem
In my system two OS' installed.Slackware 11.0 and windows XP. When I re installed XP, the bootloader doesn't came up while booting. Windows XP is loaded straight. How could I make Bootloader come againg,so that I can go to linux.
Is there any bootloader programs in Windows. Plz Help |
Use your Slackware installation disc to restore the grub bootloader.

When you installed Windows it created a new MBR. This removed the MBR that booted your previous loader that allowed you to choose between the two OS's.
You could boot with a LiveCD ... then reinstall the boot loader into the MBR. |
Hi,
You can use the Slackware Install cd1 to boot your system. The easiest way would be to use the install cd1 to boot the system as if you were going to install. After you get to the login then from the cli (command line); Code:
~#mkdir /slacktemp #temporary mount point You can use 'LINUX MAN PAGES ONLINE' to get command definitions. This link and others are available from 'Slackware-Links' . |
re

If you go option 2, you'll have to boot to it. Follow the directions on the screen and select the necessary options in the pop-up windows and it should restore it. However, I am not sure if this restore GRUB with Windows in the menu to select. If not, just boot into slackware and reconfigure your bootloader to have Windows in the menu and then reinstall it. Good Luck |
