if it was an upgade from an previos mandriva install ie 2008 look in the bootloader entery for that it might bring up old bootloader .
redo it with the control center

it is not an upgrade. it is a new installation.

Dear Lakshmipathi,

I managed to create a boot loader. I got both windows and linux. But the problem now is that it is not booting the Linux. It is giving error as "Media Error". I will try to give you more details of the error soon.
