[SlugBug] dual boot maintenance problem

[Mike Dewar]

Hello all,

I'm running a dual boot system with WinXP and RH9. I have two hard 
drives: a windows drive (primary) and a linux drive. The windows drive 
is partitioned into c:\ and d:\ ; WinXP is on c:\... What I'd like to do 
is get rid of the partition and reformat the windows drive, in order to 
clean up the assorted crap that I've accumulated. However, if at all 
possible, I'd like to do it without reinstalling Linux... I'm not sure, 
but I'm guessing that if I wipe the primary disk it's going to screw 
with the boot record thingy, stopping me from getting into Linux. The 
only way around this i can see (being a semi-n00b...) is to wipe the 
whole computer and start from scratch...

Is there a way to restore grub or lilo without reinstalling linux?

Cheers,

Mike Dewar
