Dual boot laptop problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have (or should I say had) a laptop (Thinkpad T23) that
dual boots Redhat 9 and Windows 2000. I needed to upgrade the
Windows side to Windows XP. The upgrade didn't go well so a 
clean install of Windows was needed. I selected the Windows
partition during the setup process and told it to format
the partition. The install evidently wiped out the partition
table, and I forgot to save a copy of the boot.ini file, so
now I cannot get to my linux install.  msconfig does not give
me the option to edit the boot.ini file. In fact I cannot even
find the real file, just a backup file. I think the linux
partition is still there, but I do not know how to get to it.

Is there any way to get the partition table back so I can boot
into the linux side?

Thanks, Barry
