I use Grub to boot Linux Enterprise, Windows XP Pro, and Windows XP 64 bit.
I don't know what happened but I lost Grub. I can only boot Windows.

Is there a way to get Grub working again or, can I boot Linux fron boot.ini?

Did you re-install Windows or something? Perhaps all you need do is boot
Linux from a CD-ROM (or floppy, if your distro is old enough to fit a boot
onto a floppy) and re-write the boot block.

It's Enterprise WS 3.0, when I installed it, I was not given the option to
create a bootdisk. Anyhow, how do I rewrite the boot block otherwise?

Boot with the RHEL 3.0 installation media, when the splash screen is
displayed type; linux rescue

Answer a few questions and follow the on-screen instructions about using
chroot, when ready type something like;

grub-install --recheck /dev/hda

See 'man grub-install' and 'man mkbootdisk' without the quotes for extra
points.

Also visit for other boot options;
