hello.
i installed fed 4 and grub to manage my fed/xp partitions. but i could not load windows after this. i restored my windows and reinstalled fed 4 without grub. i was hoping to use another boot loader or maybe use partition magic to set whatever partition active when i boot. i am able to load windows ok but not linux. doh. if i use partition magic to set the /boot partition active i get a message saying 'missing os'. when i use osl2000 (another boot manager), i just get a flashing _ in the top right corner. my partition setup is as follows:

101.9mb linux ext3 (/boot)
110,156.6mb fat32(windows xp)
20,002.8mb extended/type 8E
20,002.8mb fat32 (windows image file partition)

all primary except for 8E.

im thinking that using grub would be best but i cant seem to get it right. can someone give me some directions please.
