Possibly 9,000,000 years ago, unsurprisingly things have changed somewhat
since.
IF it's not booting, insert CD, go to recovery console, log on, type
"fixmbr"
For other issues:
1) reboot
2) last known good
3) safe mode (if it runs in safe mode, try rebooting, sometimes that's
enough to fix things, sometimes not). Fix the issue there
4) insert Windows CD and let it automatically find and repair windows by
going through the install wizard until you reach the bit where it finds
your old copy of windows and can reinstall
5) IF it won't run or won't reinstall correctly, then and ONLY then,
reinstall
It's easier to fix windows without reinstalling than it is to fix fedora
;)
You must have a different version than I do. But really, this
discussion is somewhat silly.
Possibly, but it's been like this for 8 years...you can't compare Win98 or
something with FC6, that's just ridiculous
