Hi

I have just installed Hardy Heron server edition on a server with raid disks that already had an os on it. I chose the option to create a partition in free disk space and install it there. I assumed that the installer would configure a multi-boot system.

Is there a simple way to get the original os (centos) working again or is it lost for good? It was only being used for testing but it would be useful to have it back again.

Many thanks
Graham
