===============================
How did you dual boot? Grub? Lilo? Third party (BootMagic)? M$ OS wipe out the mbr
when they are installed. Use your linux boot disk (you did make one during the
installation didn't you?) to get back into Linux. If you use lilo to dual boot, run
/sbin/lilo as root and that should fix the problem. Check /etc/lilo.conf to be
certain it's not in need of editing first though.
