Had a winXP/Knoppix Multi boot going, with the Debian Boot menu, i could select what OS to load. Windows, and Knoppix are on seperate physical disks, i reparttioned and reinstalled on the windows HD, now i can't get Knoppix up, and WIn XP doesn't recognize the disk with the Linux partition on it. Please advise.

You need to boot off the knoppix cd/dvd, mount the partition, chroot into the partition & then run grub-install. You may also need to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab files.
