Rescuing a Linux partition

One of my friends just screwed up her linux boot record by installing M$ Windows 2000 Professional on top of it. Luckily she didn't delete any of her partitions. This blog is for her and others who have done similar mistakes, unknowingly.

1) Reboot your system using the Linux bootable CD.
2) Choose "Rescue system" or similar option that would take you to a temporary shell.
3) Follow the steps mentioned in the link given below.

Well, I thought of writing all the steps to setup grub again, however, a google on "setting up grub" revealed this link here, which explains the steps to install grub quite comprehensively.

Saw your blog about barclays premier - as it is along the same lines I thought I would share this link with you. We were paying far too much for family things like clothes for us and the kids, games consoles inc the new Wii and soon to be PS3, car insurance/home insurance/pet insurance, broadband, mobile phones, landline calls, home and garden items, camping equipment and utilities/loans etc - you name it, we were spending too much on it.

Then a friend of mine recommended a site called www.bargainplace.co.uk. We were able to get cheaper electricity, gas, mobile phone, broadband and loan deals at bargainplace. Thanks to my friend (and the site) I am saving something like £100 a month and can afford an extra holiday abroard each year. Booked of course on www.bargainplace.co.uk. Thanks bargainplace ;-) !!
