Thank you for your kind reply. But I am quite a Linux newbie, and don't know how to repair grub. Can you pls give me more explanation, or give me a pointer.

Thanks, in advance.

Sounds to me like you need to repair grub from your linux install CD and restore the ability to boot linux

Hi,

I have a dual-boot system (WinXP & Linux), but during further partitioning, for some reason it got really hosed up. Now I lost access to Linux, and I can only boot to WinXP from GRUB. So, I need to format the hard drive and reinstall Windows, but the reinstallation method provided ! by Dell (my computer manufacturer) doesn't work on the machine. Where can I find help for formatting screwed-up hard drive and reinstalling Windows?

Thanks for your help, in advance.
