I left space on my HD for windows so I could play some games. I started to look at the options from the windows CD when I ran it, I didn't even install anything. I went to reboot, because I wanted to use fdisk in linux to partition the NTFS system. But when I pulled out the windows CD and rebooted my PC told me:
Code:
Error finding operating system


Stupid windows ate my bootloader.

Indeed. I've noticed windows refuses to install unless it deletes all partitions if any of the partition labels are 0x82 or 0x83 8O
