Hi, ive had windows xp and ubuntu on my computer for about a year and i just recently had to reformat windows. I have 2 harddrives with windows each os on one. When i reformatted windows a few days ago i lost the ability to pick an os when i restart. Am i able to just install the dual booting part? or do i have to reinstall ubuntu now? thanks in advance

this is a common occurance. use of the search bar at the upper right of the page can stop a lot of threads on the same subject. in your case search for how to re-install grub.
