windows boot manager supporting xp and debian
Hi to all,
I was using windows XP (on a 4GB hd, as master) and debian linux (on another 4GB hd, as slave). I was booting from the xp hd, using grub. I have replaced the windows hd with a newer one, and copied all my windows files to the new hd, but not the mbr. My problem is now that I can only boot into the windows hd. The hd with the linux is there, with all its data intact, but I cannot boot into it. The old windows hd in no longer in my hands (so I could copy its mbr).
I have no debian boot disk.
So, any suggestions for a boot manager that I can install using windows and that will recognize both the windows and debian hard disks?
PS: I'm pretty experienced with windows, but a total newbie regarding linux.

Installing Windows regularly b0rks the Linux booter. No way around it, you're going to have to reinstall GRUB.

And the way to do that is ... ?
As I've explained I know very little about linux, and also I currently do NOT have access to the linux partition.

I guess the GRUB homepage would be a starting point. There might even be a windows-based installation tool.
