I have a dual boot system. The windows is broken and I have to re-install it. If I do that, will the windows overwrite the boot loader so that I will not be able to select to boot into gentoo? Your advices are appreciated.

After you've installed Windows, boot up off the Gentoo LiveCD and just set up your normal bootloader again.

Thanks. I got it work by using the "repair" function of Windows. The windows works, without destroying the master boot record. So everything is fine now. Thanks.
