JungMin Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 There are many topics on the bootloader, but i cant find out how to reinstall it?? I have Mandrake installed and everything worked fine. I just installed a new harddrive and I lost my boot loader!! My computer now boots to Windows and I can't boot to Linux (2 harddrives - 1 windows, 1 linux). The boot loader has disappeared. Actually, here's whats happened. I bought a new computer and removed my old harddrive and installed it as a slave on my new computer. This drive had my Linux partitions on it. How do I reload (remake) my boot loader??? And install it on my new harddrive??? I tried to run the installation CD, but the BIOS on my new cpu doesnt seem to have an option to make my CDROM bootable?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 actually, it should have a boot-option in the bios. take a close look at the boot-sequence in yor bios. there you can change the settings from e.g. hda to floppy to cd-rom. then you can reinstall the bootloader with the cds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
