Hi guys,

My comp is an Intel P IV 2.0GHz and I had win 98 and win xp pro as the two windows op systems along with Mandrake Linux 9.1.Howvever I had to reinstall XP Pro again coz it crashed .But know what has happened is that LILO has been replaced by XP's bootloader and I do not have the option of Booting in to Linux anymore. :? :? :? :? It just gives me the option to boot in to win 98 or win xp.

How do I reinstall the bootloader for Linux now?

PS: I have the original Bootable CD'S for Mandrake 9.1.

Refer >>> tips and tricks @ the opensource forum <<< and see firewall's post. He has explained how to re-install bootloader. Both LILO and grub have been covered.
