I think if you boot from your linux cd, you have an option to recover, repair your linux installation. Most probably winxp deleted GRUB entries from MBR. Therefore it should be possible to get it back working.





If you are using LILO bootloader

for GRUB

If thats the case you will need to completely reinstall Linux. (that means all the data is lost.)


In the other case then try repairing the linux partitions and bootloader using your Linux installation CDs.
Reply:Boot your system with the bootable linux CD, the installation disc.


Rewrite the MBR using GRUB.


Create a new bootloader.





grub-install /dev/hda
