I currently have fedora core 2 and win xp on a single hard disk in my pc. I intend to remove the win xp installtion and reinstall. How do i restore the grub bootloader after that cos i know that the windows bootloader will overide the grub bootloader.
I hope you have a good reason to re-install Windows!
Anyway, I borrowed the following from another forum;
You have to boot from the first cd of fedora, in rescue mode.
If you are in the prompt, do the following:
# chroot /mnt/sysimage
# grub-install <device> (where device is /dev/hda, if that is where you MBR is at)
Of course, if you have a boot floppy, go to a root console and just type in;
# grub-install <device>

Thanks for the advice.
