Reading this post I was reminded of something I had once
done to recover me Linux installation (it was RH8) after I
had installed Windows XP and it had wiped the MBR clean.
Standard advice is to always install Windows first and then
Linux, but I figured I could do the opposite and still
recover everything. I was right, but I went to this website
for instructions:
www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html
