Dual Booting Windows XP and Linux

DrDoodypants · 17-Jan-2005, 06:54 PM #1

I recently reformatted my computer and installed Mandrake Linux 10.1. I used that as my only opperating system for a few weeks when I decided to install Windows XP Home edition as well. After I installed WIndows I wasn't able to boot Linux anymore. I searched to find a way to dual boot them both but I only found a way to do it if I installed Windows before Linux. I want to be able to get my files from the Linux partition on my hard drive but I can't using windows. Is there a way I can boot Linux or get my files without reinstalling Linux?

pop in your mandrake disk and it should have a recovery tool, if it doesn't then you just need to reinstall the bootloader.

Thanks. Reinstalling the bootloader worked fine.
