We have WindowsXP image using Ghost7.5 installed on Compaq
Deskpros. Some of the machines have to be dualbooted with
RedHat8 on 2nd IDE disk. The bootloader is grub and
everytime we boot to Windows XP it overwrites the
bootloader so that if you reboot again the machine won't
boot up because grub is overwritten. Can anyone help please???
 
We dont overwrite the MBR by default so I am not sure why that would happen.
What have you been doing to get the machine bootable after it bcomes
corrupt?
