Recover Debian Boot

Hi, Recently I formatted my machine which was running windows and Debian. I reinstalled but now I can't access the Debian. Is there a way I can restore? Skunks for help. Regards, Ambrose Kimaiyo

if you didnt format the debian partition, just use the install dvd and reinstall the boot loader only, you just go through the whole process, but dont re-install the OS, or format the disks. the boot loader is usually amongst the last steps just after installing packages. 2009/6/25 ambrose kimaiyo <mail2ambrose@gmail.com>

If you just reinstalled the same windows then super grub disk will restore the grub that was there previously. On 6/25/09, melvin obiri <obirimelvin@gmail.com> wrote:
