BTW, How to reinitialize the partition table (in safer way)?
[snip]
Can U tell me any windows option to reinitialize the partition table? As I'm quite safe with windows.
Thats approach number 5 in my last mail. Softwares like Partition Magic might be able to fix a broken partition table. But I am not sure whether they do, as I never used them. May be some one else on the list has more info on this ??
What is the exact problem with the partition table? Is the MBR all right? Are your windows partitions all right? If it is a problem with the linux partition only then use *latest* fdisk to delete the linux partition(s) and create them again. That's it. Unless your MBR or the *whole* partition table is corrupt you dont need to worry.
I find using loadin more convenient than Grub/LILO etc.
Also if you do use LILO, use the latest version so that you can avoid the /boot partition.
