Dual booting: windows along with linux

So you are very new to the world of fedora linux (You are just like me :)). So far you have always used windows. Last time you installed linux and it was working fine. But the problem happened when you formatted your hard disk to reinstall windows. You can no longer boot your linux. :((

Dont worry!! Very soon you are going to boot linux. Actually your boot record is overwritten by windows and bootloader no longer recognises your linux. Thats why you are not being able to boot linux. Just use your fedora installation cd. Then go to upgrade an existing system. Then choose write a new boot-loader. This will write your boot information in the boot record which was previously overwritten by windows. Now you restart your pc and you will be able to see both windows and linux.

Cheers..
