| 140645 | 2003-05-01 21:38:00 | Hi, I used to have a dual boot between redhat 8 and windows ME using GRUB. Last night i freshly installed windows XP inplace of ME. Now my GRUB bootloader is gone and i have no boot disk. How do i restore my computer to dual booting? thanks |

I forgotten how to but I'm sure you can do it that way. I'm positive there is a how to for it, using the CD to boot to an already installed RH. Is WinXP formatted in NTFS, I've never used GRUB before but I don't know if you could boot XP from it? I'm just guessing here though I don't actually know. |
