bootloader - How to restore WindowXP loader within running Windows?


How can i restore WindowXP loader after installation of boot manager(GRUB, LILO,..).


I can boot to windows, so it may be restored within windows enviroment.



Answer



The best option would be to boot to the Recovery Console using your Windows install CD, then use fixboot and fixmbr commands.


Newer Windows versions have a command bootsect (download), but it requires the drive to be unmounted. In other words, you cannot use it on the drive you booted from.
