Tom, use your windows bootdisk and do a fdisk -mbr. Then reinstall Grub. It sounds like something got hosed.

I used to run a Randish Boot manager on my MBR to boot between different OS's. I installed Mandrake 7.2 putting GRUB on my root partition. However once I realised that now my root mandrake partition was now /hda6 and hence not bootable by Randish boot manager so I decided to install GRUB onto my MBR. Which I did succesfully but now it just spits me straight into windoze (the default) without any delay so I can't select a difference choice. I have changed /boot/grub/menu.lst and added 'timeout 10' to it (it wasn't there originally)first below 'default 0' and then moved it to the top to no avail. I have also tried to install LILO but it comes up with the error partition not found and dies.. so I had to reinstall GRUB again. Regards -Tom Webster
