ral Posted October 7, 2002 Report Share Posted October 7, 2002 I guess a fair number of us are running both Linux and Windows in the same PC. Sooner or later you are going to want to or have to reinstall windows. In my case I am running Windows 98 on Drive C and Mandrake 8.2 on Drive D. To reinstall Windows, simply use your Windows boot disk and format the drive it is installed on. Than reinstall Windows in the same drive. In doing so you would have lost your Linux boot manager (LILO). In order to restore this just boot using Linux CD1 and press F1. At the prompt and type "rescue". Mandrake will detect your old Linux install and restore the the boot manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ral Posted October 8, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2002 I stand corrected. Those of us who still hang on to a Windows partition for whatever reason (Falcon 4, Flanker 2.5...etc.) will have to reinstall Windows regularly. Those who have severed there MS ties, will never have to reinstall at all (just upgrade from one release ot another). Thanks. I stole the avatar from Tom's Hardware...he he.
