Can only load XP pro, no linux
 

I installed Windows XP last night for a lan party, which was an awful mistake, but anyway. I can no longer load into linux. I know the windows bootloader wrote over grub. I tried setting my boot partition as active through fdisk, but I just got a blinking cursor. I can not get into linux and didn't make a boot disk. My redhat disks are in my dorm room, i won't be there for a while. Is there anyway I can fix this without a bootdisk or redhat disks. When I set my linux partition as active, it has errors loading the operating system.

You'll need to have some kind of bootable disk. You can probably get a floppy image for your version of RedHat as well as the tools to create it in Win9x/ or NT (possibly XP?).

Why not just burn the Redhat cds over again? If you don't have broadband, it will still be quicker than waiting to go back to your dorm room.:) If you don't feel like burning them you could ask someone else to,

Hasn't your install CD got a rescue option somewhere? That oughta fix it ...
