Lost Mandrake 10 Bootloader
 
Hi,

I just upgraded my Win2k Partition to XP and it has written over my Mandrake Bootloader, and as a result I can't boot Mandrake. Is there any way of reinstalling my bootloader without reinstalling the OS again?

Thanks in advance

Easy
Just stick your Mandrake CD / DVD back in the drive and it will give you an option Install or ?
somewhere in there is an option to repair your boot loader
just read carefully the options given
I think from memory you have to type "repair" somewhere

As I said : read carefully the options

live long and prosper

I belive you can choose "More options" (or similar) when booting from cd (or dvd or...). Then type "rescue" and [enter].

Should be an option to reeinstall bootloader after that.
