You'll need to boot from the Windows 2000 disk and have it repair the
MBR. Once that is done, you'll lose the Linux boot information, so
you'll need to boot from your Linux CD and repair the boot sector
again. Once this is done, you should be good to go.

It depends upon your Linux setup. If you have the automount daemon running,
then your removable drives will mount whenever you insert a disk. Accessing
the disk then becomes a matter of opening the konqueror file manager and
navigating to /mnt/floppy or whatever. If you do not have

There is a file browser in KDE. You can
try typing mount /mnt/floppy without the inverted commas.. (in console or
xterm)
then open konqueror or whatever and browse to /mnt/floppy and if you had a
disk in the drive, it should now be accessable..
If you are not using automount, then its a good idea to type umount
/mnt/floppy
good luck
just start with your home directory and just remember that .. is the
