Help installing a boot manager or getting onto another partition?
I have my hard drive partitioned into two partitions. One has XP installed and the other has GNU Linux (Debian) installed. I used to be able to choose which operating system to load when i turned the computer on using GRUB boot manager which came packaged with Debian. The problem is that I had to reformat the XP partition and so now I can no longer choose a partition to load but it automatically goes into windows. How can I get back onto Linux when i want to.
Thanks.
how do you go about recovering data from a harddrive that you formatted the OS partition but not the others?
my dad formatted the harddrive from the os installation menu. i asked a prequel question earlier if the os format only formatted the os partition. i have two other partitions on the harddrive that i want to recover. how do i go about doing this?
