[vox-tech] re-installing a boot loader, post windows install

[Dylan Beaudette]

Hi everyone,

Well, I have put off the windows install on my second partition for long 
enough- dreading the re-installation of my bootloader. I finally purchased 
VMware, as we have some windows-only apps, and was thinking about installing 
windows on its own partition. 

I know that windows will clobber my bootloader (grub) and i would like to know 
ahead of time how to get it back once i reboot the machine.

In the past I have used a Debian net-install CD, but i think that i have a 
knoppix disk on hand. 

Does anyone have any suggestions for this process? 

Thanks in advance!
