    Hi Guys... I still have my D2D Partition there, however, I installed Linux and it modified the MBR and now my ALT+F10 doesn't work anymore so I cant access the D2D Recovery through BIOS. Is there any way around this one?

    Can you get to the recovery console with your restore cds? or another winxp cd? If so then you can do an fdisk /mbr but you would then need to redo your linux boot config correctly.
