Duel boot fix

jduped · 2009-09-12 23:35:58

I have arch dueled with windows on my two desktop use computers. The windows os has corrupted on one of them.

I know if I reinstall windows it will loose the grub settings.

Is there a quick easy way to get grub back up after windows is installed? Short of reinstalling.

Thanks archers in advanced.

Best distro ever!

You don't have to reinstall Arch to get the GRUB bootloader working again

Reinstall Windows to its correct partition (be careful not to kill Arch)

Boot the live CD (although any recent live CD should work) and read the wiki about GRUB

I'll try this.

Thank you.

I think he meant dual boot not duel boot.
