How do i boot to my linux partition after installing windows?
I ran kubuntu and windows xp on my laptop and recently formatted the windows partition. Afterwards the usual GRUB bootloader was gone and now i can’t boot to my linux partition anymore. Can anyone tell me how to get it back without having to format the linux partition?
Ubuntu is still there you just need to reinstall the linux bootloader (grub).
Follow these instructions.
