How to boot computer with more then 1 operating system?

The OS you are installing last is updating the Master Boot Record in such a way that old OS entries are getting overwritten .\nGo through the manual.\n\nIn the IBM PC architecture the Master Boot Record (MBR), or partition sector, is the 512-byte boot sector, i.e. the sector on the logical beginning of a hard disk that contains the sequence of commands necessary for booting the operating system(s) (OSes).\n\nThe bootstrapping firmware contained within the ROM BIOS loads and executes the master boot record. The MBR of a drive usually includes the drive's partition table, which the PC uses to load and run the boot record of the partition that is marked with the active flag. This design allows the BIOS to load any OS without knowing exactly where to start inside its partition. Because the MBR is read almost immediately when the computer is started, many computer viruses made in the era before virus scanner software became widespread operated by changing the code within the MBR.\n\nTechnically, only partitioned media contains a master boot record; while unpartitioned media only has a boot sector as the first sector. In both cases the BIOS init transfers control to the first sector of the disk after reading it into memory. A legacy MBR contains partition selection code which loads and runs the boot (first) sector of the selected primary partition. That partition boot sector would contain another boot loader. Newer MBRs, however, can directly load the next stage from an arbitrary location on the hard drive. This can pose some problems with dual-booting, as the boot loader whose location is coded into the MBR must be configured to load each operating system. If one operating system must be reinstalled, it may overwrite the MBR such that it will load a different boot loader.

You should reinstall fedora and set it to overwrite the Windows boot sector. That way you get lilo or grub, whatever fadora uses. Then you can choose either OS from there. The install should set up a Windows chainloader for you. I'm more of a Suze and Gentoo guy myself though.

You need to install some sort of boot loader to let you choose different operating systems you have installed.  Usually, if you have more than one OS on your PC, you get a choice of OS's when you load up. \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_loader

No, just download a bootloader, and you can choose whether to load linux or windows on startup, but they both exist together on the same hard drive

firstly, have a bootup floppy or cd.\nmake sure you backup your necessary datas.\ninsert the bootup floppy or cd and restart the system, with such as floppy is to be booted up first, you can change it in your bios settings.\nNow with your boot disk booted up, select help option to get some quick help then format the disk by typing the command. x:format k:\nwhere x is the directory in which the system booted it can a drive or some cd drove,k is the hardisk drive which you want to be formatted.\nAfter formatting install your os or you can partion further by using partion magic.\nThank you

i didn`t get the meaning of u`r Q. but if u r talking of multi boot system then follow the following steps\n\nopen c:\nlook for boot.ini file\nit would look like this\n----------------------------\n[Boot Loader]\ntimeout=30\nDefault=C:&#92;\n[Operating Systems]\nC:&#92;="Microsoft Windows 98"\n---------------------------------------\nif you change the order here it would be changed in the boot process.by changing default you can cange the preselected one\nif boot.ini does not exist you can create one to override.

if u want to format your computer completely then place the bootable cd or floppy into the respected drivers and start the system with bootable cdrom support. then choose the option of installing the os in your system . at the bottom or in the next page it asks for the drive where u want to place there choose the drive and press "D" to delete the partition after that once again choose the same part and press "C" to create the partition do this for all the drives and select the primary drive for os installation. after completely installing the os just right click on the other devices and click on format option, so that the reamaining drives also will be formatted and will ready for further storage. \n\nNote : Works mainly for any of Windows OS .

If your system come with a system dick, then boot from that and follow the instructions.\n\nIf not you will have to boot from a windows CD and re-install.

first of all you can't install 2 windows on the same partitions, i think you are talking about boot setup.\n\nso start ->  run  -> msconfig\n\nthen choose BOOT.INI tab and there delete unneeded option.

I feel it works best if you install Linux first on any partition then XP next. Linux does a great job of setting up the boot screen where you can select which OS to boot. I have not done it in a while so I am sure of the exact terms.

Please make sure that you are not installing the two operating systems on the same partition.

Go into the BIOS and set it so that your CD-ROM drive boots first. Then restart the computer with your operating system's install disk in the CD-ROM drive. It should be fairly simple from there. Once the operating system is loaded, be sure to reinstall any and all drivers required for your hardware, which should have come on a disc with the computer, or along with the hardware if you upgraded with aftermarket parts.

Boot to a boot disk (preferrably a 98 boot disk) and you can format through the command prompt (format c: /u).  Get a boot disk from http://www.bootdisk.com

On bootup hit F8 and run in safe mode that might work. If not get a bootable Linux Disk.
