I had a disk with Fedora installed with a few partitions. I had a little sda1 partition for boot directory. I needed to install Windows 2003 to make some tests and as one of the partitions was big enoough, I resized and created a ntfs partition on the unpartitioned disk space. When installing Windows 2003, its installer told me that it needed a windows partition at the beginning of the disk. So, I deleted the first little partition and let the Windows installer use it. (Previously I made a backup of boot dir) Then I needed to reinstall Windows 2003, I did so, but this time, installer it seemed not to use the C drive (first little partition) at all. I made a backup of that partition with selfimage (http://selfimage.excelcia.org/) and saved into D drive (the big NTFS partition) I wanted to restore boot on sda1 (C drive on Windows), so I used a LiveCD to copy boot files to sda1 (previously I reformatted to ext3), and tried to install grub, using chroot, but it output something like "Not found or not a block device" And I could not boot on Windows 2003 either. Can I restore that partition from Linux using some tool like dd? I'd lke to boot again on Windows 2003. I don't understand why windows is needing that partition... or better how to restore grub? and will be grub capable to load Windows 2003 too?
