| Post subject: | Linux install has corrupted my MBR |
Hello all, I decided to install Slackware Linux this afternoon, but the installation seems to have gone badly wrong. I was hoping to dual-boot it with my current Windows XP Home software installation. When I boot up, I get the option of Linux or Windows, but neither work. I believe this is due to a corrupt MBR stopping the operating systems from booting. I would usually use the Recovery Console on my XP disc, however I don't have access to this at the moment. I have tried with a colleague's XP Professional disc, however I could not access the Recovery Console due to the difference in discs. Any ideas, please? Thanks, Peter. |

Are the options pointing to the correct partitions of the drive? You could always reinstall GRUB and ensure it's pointing at the right partitions. |
