hey
So i was messing around with installing a next OS on my system, and it wouldn't change the partitions. I deleted my Ubuntu partitions without restarting Windows then started the install but it said 10GB wasn't enough space for it, So I had to restart to try one my linux partition managers. I can't find my Mandrake disk and my Fedora Core 2 disk won't change the size of the partition, while in the mean time Grub won't load cause of the missing partitions.
I had a disk that would let me boot windows xp even if the boot loader was missing off my system, but I can't remember what the disk was called or where it is, does anyone know of a program that will do the job?

If anything I will have install Fedora into the empty space.

you can use any linux "Rescue Disk" This is usually the first disk of hte install disks. fdisk is the program and it shoudl be on any bootable linux cd. At the boot prompt just type rescue. That or download a copy of partition magic to a floppy.....

If you get linux booted into rescue mode and need some help, PM me, otherwise - GOOD LUCK!
