Hi friends, I am a student and currently using linux 2.4.18(RH 8) & linux 2.4.20 for almost 6 mnths.Now, there is a slight prob I recently installed Win 2000 OS on one of the free partitions and on doing so it erased my MBR.I have misplaced both the boot disks somewhere so its like I can't boot in both of my linux sys.Is there any way i can reconfigure my MBR i.e start my boot loader(grub) from another OS (like Knoppix) ?

Thankyou very much in advance Sameer
