Boot the XP disk. Let setup go until you can get a prompt (fixit). Then use the fixboot and fixmbr utility. After that, boot back to linux and setup grub correctly.

The problem is, that I used setup (hd0,0) instead of setup (hd0), write it in the boot partition instead of the mbr. linux is running on a hdb, so there is no effect. Is there a way to restore the winXP boot sector without reinstalling xp? Thanks, Thomas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
