<<hi guys... i reinstalled windows on one of the partitions of my drive,
and now i want to reconfigure grub so that i can still use both
operating systems. however, my machine only boots into windows now, so
i'm kinda freaked out. how can i solve this?>>

<Many useful comments in several posts>

Drew: 

Please post a summary of what you find about how to to
get a Windows reinstallation to allow Linux to be booted.

I will be faced with doing this from time to time. My solution
is to create a couple Linux boot disks every time I change my 
system. I keep one carefully dated in my box with my will,
car titles and other important documents, and the other on my desk.

Warm Regards

Clearly, it's the imbeciles. And they really mean it.
