well, now that i got linux installed i can't boot into windows, i'm just not given the option. On my windows partition i have partition manager 2005 installed, but I dont have it configured yet for this, could i install it on this linux and use it here? how am I gonna boot into windows? I need to get to partition manager so I can set this up as an optional dual-boot system..
 
I could be wrong here, been wrong before. I’d stick my Linux boot CD in the drive and see if there are boot options listed there. As a rule there are. With luck you can reconfigure your boot menu and get things working again.

Luck
 
i cant find anything ont he boot disk that will help me, however, i do have that ultimatebootcd cd, could something on that big set of programs help me boot into windows, and if so, which program?
 
What flavour of linux are you running? Redhat? Fedora Core? Suse? And was windows installed prior to the linux install or do you have them on seperate drives?

When installing linux you gotta becareful that diskdruid doesnt whip the WIN32 parition when it makes the linux partition, I did that once and learned from experience. :(
 
I'm running Fedora Core, and I got it fixed. I used a boot managing program on the ultimatebootcd set of programs to get me into windows, now I can just use my partition manager 2005 to give me boot options, but thanks anyway guys :)
