You shouldn't. Windows probably thought that the installation was corrupted because the disk partition sizes/layout didn't match what it remembered them to be (not because of the boot manager). Reinstalling Windows....uh..."pursuaded" Windows that everything was OK...at the expense of your boot loader (grub/lilo/system commander/whatever) since Windows (in typical Windows fashion) assumes that it's the only game in town.
The suggestion to reinstall your boot loader should fix the Linux boot problem and (so long as you created an entry in your boot configuration for Windows) leave Windows happily humming along. -- William Sutton On Thu, 23 Feb 2006, Christopher Blackmon wrote: > > > --- Kevin Otte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Wed, Feb 22, 2006 at 12:59:02PM -0800, > > Christopher Blackmon wrote: > > > After the system restore I notice that the > > > linux partitions are still there.. there is just > > no > > > boot manager any more. > > > > You'll need to boot off the FC disc into rescue > > mode.
