Hi,

I am using a dual boot (Windows and Fedora 5), recently i formated my c-Drive and installed Vista.

Now i don't know how to boot into my linux partition and how to reinstall GRUB.

Kindly help.

Thank you,
Kewlcoder.
 
I am not sure about Fedora, but judging from my SuSE Distro...

Let Linux reinstall itself, on the SuSE install there is an option to fix the existing INSTALL, meaning that it will reinstall GRUB and set the appropriate settings...

alternatively you should've had a BOOT Diskette (backup) handy...

Boot with the first Fedora CD. Use linux rescue. You should be able to reinstall grub from there, but I'm not sure how it will get along with the Vista boot loader.
