I deleted the partitions and reinstalled windows yesterday......i want to
know why it destroyed my registry, why grub wouldn't load windows, how to
install mandrake without destroying windows, how to install mandrake without
installing another bootloader, how to make a boot diskette that can load
mandrake (and have the the only way, so a normal boot will load windows),
and if this boot diskette is possible.
