[juneau-lug] Re: October meeting

Hello,

I am quite new using Linux and I had Mandrake 8.1 installed on my 
desktop and on my Laptop as well. After an inevitable hard drive funeral 
on my Laptop I tried to reinstall Mandrake 8.1. I should mention that in 
the meantime, (when all was running well on the Laptop) I upgraded to XP 
Professional from the Home Edition. Anyway, when I reinstalled Mandrake 
it will not let me reboot on XP at all telling me that there is an NTFS 
issues on the MBR. Does anyone know what the issue is? Let say I have XP 
installed and running well, what could be the problem when I install my 
copy of Mandrake that won't let me dual boot like it use to when I had 
XP home edition on FAT files format. I just reformatted my hard drive 
and installed XP professional back on but I am afraid to try to install 
Linux again because it may not let me boot on XP...and then I have to 
start all over again. I have done this twice in the past 2 days and I am 
quite frustrated with it. Maybe I should just go to an other version of 
Mandrake or Suse or RedHat. Basically...I need help...
I am out running for a coupe of hours and I will be back hoping for some 
wizards counseling...Later!
