Hi All,
I had Linux FC1 and Windows XP home edition on my Dell inspiron 8500. For some reason, i had to reinstall XP and as a result the GRUB loader was
overwritten. I knew GRUB can be reinstalled easily, so didn't worry about it.
[.... snip ....]
Is there any way by which i can preserve my previous Linux installation and get the GRUB in MBR. Or do I have to reinstall Linux?
hmmm, what about installing grub into SuperBlock of "boot partition" ? and add linux "boot" partition to XP bootmanager ?
Also, a quick search on google gives a lot of results and many pointers.
There are actually 2 ways to control the boot. Use the ntldr from XP and do not install grub to the mbr but to the boot sector of the boot partition OR use grub on the mbr.
