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!

welcome aboard :beer:

 

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. :)
