(you can download it) Then you can install GRUB onto the MBR, assuming you have some sort of linux installation somewhere on a disk. You can just use the superGRUB CD.

I usually do that and shorten the timeout to 3, or if your grub contains a default as Walter's does, you can just change that number to the partition number for example say you have XP installed at hda(0,2) you would set it to 2.

Hopefully you will be able to continue using the previous grub configuration but if your Linux didn't put in an entry to the menu-list.lst file you might now not be able to see Windows. So here is what you might have to add. However, if you use jiffy you might have to modify a totally different file. Hope this helps. As an example----- default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Yoper Linux (2.6.23-12) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23-12 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23-12.img title Yoper Linux (2.6.23-12-openmosix3) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23-12-openmosix3 ro root=/dev/hda2 hdc=ide-scsi initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23-12-openmosix3.img title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 Good post but just enough info to get into trouble and not out.
