Once when some virus is found is the Windows partition, I just formatted and re-installed Windows. But then, I can't boot into LINUX. It just booting to Windows only. Is there any ways to have a selection for Windows/Linux when I boot into system? Or should I re-install LINUX ? Please give me a reply. Best regards, Nissar

Burn a copy of SuperGrubCD to re-install GRUB. __________________ Jay Forum Rules Registered Linux User #463940 Not every story has an ending... but they all have more chapters.

I see 7 iso files. Should I write into 7 CDs and install ?

Should be this on:http://sgd.benjamin-butschko.de/down...isk_0.9770.iso __________________ Jay Forum Rules Registered Linux User #463940 Not every story has an ending... but they all have more chapters.
