Usually after installation of linux probably the chain loader of the previous windows XP will be overwritten by the bootloader of the linux. That's not a problem... liinux will take care of ur windows... If the situation is just opposite... ie u are installing Windows after linux...
u will get a headache, coz u can't boot to your liinux....This post is not the solution for this problem.. To boot all the Operating systems u may need to reinstall the grub..This topic is already discussed in the previous post.
Here i will explain the steps to reload your boot loader of the windows XP after the deletion of the linux OS....ie u have only windows as the OS. all u need is the installation disk of Windows XP.
>> To restore the MBR, boot ur machine using windows XP CD. Choose 'Rescue mode' when asked, and get to the command prompt when asked.
eg.. In rescue mode the operating systems in the machine are listed as follows..
1. C:\WINDOWS
press 1 to get the command prompt of the windows. Then execute the following commands..
FIXMBR [Enter]
FIXBOOT [Enter]
Once you're done reboot your computer and everything should be fine....
In the cases when ur grub is corrupted, u can recover ur grub with any of the live distribution of the linux. This already discused in the post
