Suppose i have two OS, say i have Win XP and Redhat, if for some reasons i have 2 format my XP partition and reinstall XP again, i wont be able to boot redhat since i will have a new bootloader. How can i get the GRUB boot loader without having to reinstall redhat or without installing any kernel packages.

Hi all, I have two 80GB HDD, and on my primary i had Win XP and Redhat 9.0 installed. My default boot loader was GRUB, i had 2 format my HDD and reinstall XP and Redhat. But now when i install Redhat on my m/c, and try to boot Win XP i get a message rootnoverify chainloader +1 message and am not able to boot my XP. I tried installing SUSE and XP and the thing worked. But again when i tried to switch to XP and Redhat the same thing happened. Please help me on this as i am new to the linux environment. Regards Hitesh

ya i had installed it on hda1 and thatz my c drive, but my friends had changed some configurations. Basically am using linux for my home use and i want to get familiar with it in GUI, before i can start using CUI. Am bugged using Win, so you can understand what packages i need like a movieplayer(mplayer), skins and plugins for xmms. Can i install msn messenger on Redhat? Suggest me the steps and where can i download it from. What is synaptic manager? You have been of great help and i hope to get help from you in future and even contribute

I have sorted out the problem, it was with Windows. Windows was pointing towards C drive(XP OS), whereas my XP was installed in another drive, had to do some changes and the problem is sorted. Do suggest me some website to find help for installing and downloading RPM files.

Yes the entry is same as you have mentioned. Should i try partioning manually? Also suggest me some sites where i can find plugins and help for any RPM files needed

I had to reinstall XP because my XP had gone corrupt. I know Redhat is old and all my filesystems are FAT32. No my system is not an HP or Compaq box. The Grub bootloader was installed on MBR. I know XP should always be installed first and i have installed many linux flavors several times. I mostly use an automatic partition alloting arount 15-20GB free space for Linux. I tried FC2 and got the same problem, however no problem with SUSE. This is the result from the fdisk -l command.
