i installed windows 2003 server fedora core linux in Intel Dual core Machine.I want to format windows 2003 server.Is there any solution to Format and reinstall windows 2003 server without effecting Grub boot loader so that i can still boot into linux.Can any one help me :lol:

Boot into rescue mode using Fedora CD1
1. Mount the root partition
mount -o dev,rw /mnt/hdax
2. Install GRUB
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/hdax /dev/hda

hdax - the linux partition (hda2,hda3...)
/dev/hda - the drive to install GRUB

I've not tried it out, but it may work

There is no way to do that.. But you can restore Grub after installing windows..
