Guest Opiumdreamer Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Good evening! What I want to know know concerns the bootloader, lilo in my case. I have to re-install Windows XP which will overwrite the MBR and leave my system to only boot windows as an option, as familiar. Will it work to, after the Windows installation, insert the Mandriva 10.2 2005 dvd and run the rescue boot option and from the GUI menu choose to re-install the bootloader lilo? I just want to be more than 99% sure before moving on. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 welcome aboard insert the mandriva cd,hit f1. then go to advanced settings and restore the windows bootloader before reinstalling win-xp. when this is done, go on and install win-xp. after that, insert the mandriva cd again and hit f1. now select "reinstall bootloader" and you are done. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
