Can anyone help me? I advise you to mount the winxp partition, or the partition where your=20 document files reside, if it is a different one. Dont have a windows box=20 right now at hand, but they usually are at c:\documents and=20 settings\ or something similar. Mount the partition from linux,= =20 even a livecd can be used for that purpose. Then make a backup of the doc= s,=20 at least, the ones that you need for tomorrow. Then, once you have recued all the relevant stuff, you can mess up with n= tldr=20 or reinstall or whatever. BTW, why do you want to delete it? You need to=20 restore it or whatever, ntldr is the Windows loader, you need it to boot=20 Windows ;) As you said, there is a lot of info on various ntldr, I left the windows = world=20 time ago, so I could not help on that even anyway. But I give you the adv= ise,=20 first, overall if you are not familiar with anything that you need to do = to=20 restore it, make a backup, that is never a bad thing to have.=20 Jes=FAs. --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
