I had windows 98 and linux loaded on my machine, I desired to install  windows xp  on unused partition. I installed windows xp as a new installation. the installation process completed, I could see windows98 as well as windows xp while booting, however linux is not visible on boot loader?.
seems windows removed grub boot loader?.
How do i recover grub loader ?.
Can any one help?.
waiting for reply

Its simple..
boot from Linux CD , & boot prompt give
#boot:linux rescue

After asking some questions to you ,it will automatically goes to command prompt
At the command prompt, give this command :

# grub install /dev/hda

After that reboot ur System........
It will definitly work , if Linux partotion exists...

Cheers
