FC4 boot problem

[danibren]

Hi everybody-
I had FC4 working fine while dual booting windows XP. Then I needed to reformat my XP partition and reinstall. So I did all that no problem, but after I finished I no longer had the option to load into linux after I turn on the computer, it just goes straight into windows. How can I re-enable this (this is somebody relatively new, so I'm sorry if I might need you to speak slownly and in little words unsure.gif )

From the research I've been doing, I'm guessing that when I reformatted I whacked GRUB out of existance. So how can I reinstall it (especially if I can't boot into my FC4 without it)?

Thanks for any/all help.

common problem. Uncle Bill's wonder product overwrites your hard disk's master boot record (mbr), which is where the first part of grub lives.

DaniBren,
we all have to start somewhere. That's why I'm never sarcastic.
