Dual OS (Winxp + Linux)
Hi,
I previously have dual boot in my PC. It's loaded through Linux Grub loader. However when i do a format to Winxp, the grub loader is gone. It now boot straight to windows without letting me choose an OS. How do I get the loader back?

I've read through but do not understand how about going it.
The system now straight boot to windows. I can't even access Linux as I am not able to select it from the "boot menu" |

N.N. is right.
You need the floppy boot disk they're telling you about. |

Do you mean by this on the guide "Make a copy of the Linux boot sector onto a floppy or onto a FAT32 partition. We'll name this copy linux.bin."?

First it goes on to the floppy before you start messing with anything else!
