previously, i installed xp then slackware on my laptop. it was working fine. yesterday, i reinstalled xp, and the linux does not boot anymore, i can't boot linux and change boot file again, i have tried change xp boot.ini, but it always said hdl.dll doesn't exit or got corrupted. xp can boot and work fine. could someone please tell me how to change my xp boot file to have a dual boot please?
thanks a lot!

here is my boot file, could someone see anything wrong?

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default = multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) /windows
[operation system]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) /windows = "xp" / fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) /linux = "slackware" / fastdetect

besides, i don't have windows or linux cd, no floppy drive either.
thanks again.
