Running Redhat Linux and Microsoft Windows XP

[Rojex]

High members!
I have Linux Os in my system(Compaq nc6120), installed in one partition. I've just installed Windows XP in the second partition and My Linux and all my files went to hiding. In XP 'Disk management I can see the partition where Linux was installed but can't enable or access it. Please can someone help me out. Can the two operating systems 'go'?. How do I enable the Linux? Looking forward for help.......

The normal way to install a dual boot is to put XP on first then Linux, so you need to repair the GRUB bootloader.
Reinstall GRUB by doing the following:
1. Boot off a rescue floppy or CD
2. Run grub and enter the following commands
3. root (hd0,0)
4. setup (hd0,0)
5. quit
6. reboot
Or, you can
1. Boot off a rescue floppy or CD
2. run: grub-install /dev/hd0
3. reboot

This will reinstall GRUB onto the first partition of the first hard drive.
Change the hard drive number as appropriate for your drive configuration,
but the above is correct for most configurations, this assumes you have an IDE drive (PATA).
