Advise to reinstall XP with Linux

[Jean Sagi]

Hi all,

This might be not very common, but I finaly manged to crash my WindowsME
on the first disk I have (/dev/hda), by resizing the partition where it
reside with Diskdrake.

Luckyly, all my linux partions where on my second disk (dev/hdb), and I
can boot'em without any problem, so as you may guess the lost was not much.

So, now, I want to install XP in my first disk (yes... I like to play
with the devil), but leaving my linuxes on second disk _intact_ and I'm
not very sure on how to proceed and maybe someone here want to share
some ideas on how to acomplish this.

I think that:

- First I have to do a boot disk.
- Second save lilo on /dev/hda (the first 512 bytes)...
   (Don't know hot to do it, Have to ckeck it)
- Third XP on hda1, that's the scary part cause I think XP erases boot
   code on hda.
- Finally manage a way to reinstall lilo so that linuxes on
   hdb are restored, and be able to boot XP also.


Any help/hint would be very appreciated.


Chucho!
