Reinstall Windows on Dual Boot

[drlinux]

I have Fedora Core 4 and Windows XP Home on a single SCSI Hard Drive with a Grub Boot loader

Windows (the OS we all love to hate) has developed a number of problems ( surprise surprise) and I wish to reinstall it. However when I boot my system from the Windows XP CD the CD is unable to find my hard drive or windows partition. I thought this may be due to the boot loader in the MBR.

As much as I would love to dump Windows ( I do hate it!) I like my games too much. Can anybody help me with this one?

Many thanks.

You, probably, have to load drivers for your scsi controller. Press F6 when windows setup strarts. But you won't be able to load linux normally after windows setup.

Thanks for that - will give it a try

I kindof have the same problems with drlinux... I have windows xp and FC4 on dualboot but on a IDE HDD. I want to reinstall windows but i don`t know if i can recover grub so i don`t have to reinstall fc4... if this is possible please tell me how to do it.
