Hi,
 
No reloading necessary. This is actually good. 

Windows always thinks it owns the disk's world, thus overwriting the MBR.

Boot floppy, use grub to modify its conf. "man grub" is your key.
 
Thanks.

boot from thelinux cd and try to upgrade any kernel package. You should find
an option to fiddle with the boot loader for it to give you an option for
the dual boot.

Subject: RH 9 dual boot problem



I am trying to set up a dual boot RH 9 workstation.  I made the
mistake of loading RH 9 first, and then loading Windows XP.
Now, Windows ALWAYS boots, and I can only get RH to
run by booting from a floppy.  When I installed RH, I set GRUB
up to allow either Windows or RH to be selected, but Windows
must have overwritten the MBR.  Is there an easy way to restore
the RH boot record back into the MBR, other than reloading
RH again??

Thanks
BDavis
