I had the normal problem with losing Grub, after installing XP. Which I've been trying to restore?
Then today I bought a PC mag that provided Paragon Partition Manager Express 9. Which is also listed under their Free Downloads on their site.
Anyway, I installed it on XP and found that it has a Boot Manager, which of course I was bit sceptical about?
But I ran the Wizard, which involved ticking 2 boxes.
Then setting the number of seconds, before it would boot to default OS.
Then straight to Finish.
Seemed too simple? But I rebooted and the screen came up with a menu with Grub and XP. Which I tried and both work.
So after it worked, I went to the Paragon site, to see if it could be downloaded for free from there? As I'd got it off a PC mag DVD. Where I found that it can be downloaded for free from their site.
So I thought that I'd mention it here, given that all it involved was ticking 2 boxes and setting the number of seconds.
