Re: about grub

Windows bootloader has problem with linux boot loader and damage it while linux are not
when you install a new windows or reinstall windows this problem will happen
if both your windows and linux have damaged you can rebuilt their boot loader
first with windows bootloadedr repair your windows then repair linux with its reboot diskette acoording linux command line
if just your linux has damaged do just the second part(repair with linux diskette)
if you do not know their command or how to make thier diskete i can tell you then

about grub

again, this is assuming you did NOT format the drive. i have lost grub several times, it's not too big a deal to get back - i usually use the cd to refresh it but if you formatted when you installed xp it's gone.

you may consider a virtual machine in the future.
