I did have to reinstall all the windows updates, including service pack 1. The other good news is that the XP repair function didn't even touch Grub. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE>The following makes these assumptions. a. XP was installed on /dev/hda, and that fedora is elsewhere. b. you used grub to boot XP. c. grub is on the MBR. 1. Boot with Fedora 2. save the MBR # dd if=/dev/hda of=/path_to/mbr.img bs=512 count=1 3. reinstall XP 4. boot with knoppix 5. mount the drive where you saved the mbr record 6 restore the saved MBR # dd if=/moun_path_to/mbr.img of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 7. reboot to fedora. There are of course, other options, such as making a boot floppy, do the reinstall of XP, then boot back to fedora from the floppy and doing grub-install etc.</PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <PRE><TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> Gary Waters <A HREF="http://www.imagestation.com/members/gswsnakes">http://www.imagestation.com/members/gswsnakes</A> ICQ# 110737295 Windows Messenger (MSN): waters_gary@hotmail.com Yahoo Messenger: Atherisdoode </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </PRE> </BODY> </HTML>
