XP always thinks it is the only OS in the world; it always overwrites anything related to Linux. So reinstall XP and make sure it is working; then reinstall Linux.

But the problem is its showing only a part of the harddisk.
And the the drives which i have mounted inLinux is not getting shown in windows boot up. So it request me to format the entire system to install .

But in that case i will be loosing all the data which i have. I either dont have an backup too.

But let me know why linux is not getting installed and throwing “No repositary found” when i try to boot via linux
