  Make shure you have working rescue discs for both windows and linux
 
  To fix windows start from the rescue disc and try
  Format /MBR
 
  if it still will not boot you may have to re-install  Windows.
 
  To sort Grub boot from your Mandrake CD, select upgrade and click on the
  option toconfigure lilo/grub.

   Hi everybody,
  
   It looks like I cannot retrieve Grub in 7.1. I'm only getting lilo. In

   The C drive icon has disappeared from the virtual desktop. Should I
   install 7.2 as an upgrade or delete the entire Linux partition and then
   install 7.2?
  
   Any thoughts?
