Dual boot issue .....
Hi,
I have a laptop with two os running in it, Windows XP & RHEL5. Accidentally, we have deleted the windows entry in grub.conf file. Later we connected the hard disk of laptop to another system & deleted the linux partitions from the disk management tool of windows.
Now the issue is, the laptop is not booting & it is going in minimum command option. The worst thing is, even the cd rom is not functioning properly to format it.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Amol.
