I was toying with partition magic in windows and accidentaly deleted my linux boot partition (100 mb). after which i installed windows ,Now my remaining linux partition are intact only linux boot partition is not there.
Please tell me how to create it and install the files .I already tried linux rescue command which replied with
/boot/grub/grub.conf failed
The boot partition contains not just your loader (grub), but kernel(s) as well. Did you just delete the partition, or did you re-use the space for windows ???. Recovery of grub is easy, but getting the kernels back depends on the distro.
