Q: Reinstall GRUB

I have to format my NTFS and reinstall Windows. How can I reinstall GRUB after Windows installation or something like that?(Basically, how can I access my Linux after reinstalling Windows)

Thanks for any reply

Might try booting CD disk one or the DVD and use F5 to go to recovery shell and type at

boot: linux rescue

then at

# chroot /mnt/sysimage

than at

#grub-install

That should rewrite your MBR and allow GRUB to roll! There may be an easier way but I am < 6 mo into this Linux thing, still in R&D mode.

Also, I have found more useful stuff with the search feature here on the forum than even the heavy $45 "Fedora Core Bible". I'll bet the other ways of accomplishing your task if that does not work are right here on the forum, already well described. Good hunting!
