Hi everybody,
I have windows on first partition, FC4 on 2.,3.,4. partition. All on a
250GB disk. Grub is boot loader.
Can i reinstall windows without overwriting Grub ? Or do i have to
reinstall Grub after Windows installation ? IS there some docu about
this already ?
Thanks in advance
Arne
It will overwrite it. I see that you got a recommendation to
re-install GRUB using the rescue CD. Another option, which I
use, is to let the Windows XP boot manager handle the boot.
It works well, and I always prefer to let MicroSoft products
think that they are in charge. They usually work better that
way. I've had problems trying to make MicroSoft products work
in environments they weren't specificially designed for. They
just aren't very robust.
Anyway, my dual-boot boots the Windows XP manager, which boots
up GRUB, allowing me to select which version of FC to boot.
YMMV

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
