Boot sector issue
I am about 3 week new to linux even though I have had it for 2 months. I just reinstalled Linux on my computer to solve some programming issues that I was having. Now I had a dual OS setup on my computer. One hard drive was Linux and the other WinXP. After I installed Linux (the second time) and got it working like it should be I decided that I was going to boot into windows to work on a few thing. However, when I restarted my computer I get the boot loader screen where you can pick which OS you want to use. The problem is, Windows isn't there. Is there anything I can do to get windows back or at least access the info without lossing it all.
Thanks for any help. Groz |

If you have windows in your first partition of first harddisk, try to put something like
Code:
other=/dev/hda1 |
