[wplug] Reinstalling windows on a dual boot

[Dileep Vangasseri]

Hello,

I am not able to get my grub bootloader back after my
windows reinstall in my dual boot (XP and FC3). I had
formatted the windows partition before installing the
new XP. I tried mounting linux through a rescue disk.
It showed an error message that the linux could not be
run properly but that some of the files have been
mounted in /mnt/sysimage and gave me a shell prompt. I
tried chroot /mnt/sysimage and grub-install /dev/hda.
But it showed that such device do not exist and did
not do much. I did a fdisk -l and it gave me the
following. Looking at that I was wondering if my
partition table is fine or not. Any help to solve this
problem woul tbe highly appreciated.

Output of fdisk -l:


/dev/hda1   *   1  1912  15358108+  7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2       1913 2432   4176900  e  w95  LBA
/dev/hda3      2433  2445  104422+  83  linux
/dev/hda4      2446  4864  19430617+ f W95 (Extd) LBA
/dev/hda5      2446  3210  6144831   83  Linux
/dev/hda6      3211  3341  1052226   82  Linux
/dev/hda7      3342  4864  12233466  83 Linux

I tried googling a lot but could not find any simple
method to get my boot loader back, may be because I do
not have much idea of these partition table and stuff
like that.

With best regards,
Dileep
