What I usually do is When I install Linux the grub is installed to the partition that has the boot files. For example in this system to ( hd0,2) and that partition is marked as active. So if I install/uninstall windows I dont touch grub. You can also boot to linux using the ntldr in windows. Get into your linux and type. #dd if=/dev/hda3 of=linux.pbr bs=512 count=1 replace /dev/hda3 with your partition containing the boot files. now copy over 'linux.pbr' to C:\ on windows and add the following entry in C:\boot.ini C:\linux.pbr=:Which ever Linux" --Siju --Siju _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected]
