Running Linux with Acronis Boot Manager/Loader

[playaz]

Hi guys,

I have just installed Mandrake 10.1 on my PC, as I didnt want Linux to alter the Acronis Loader I already have setup I didnt let Linux create a Bootloader (dunno if this was a mistake or not - I'm kinda new to Linux).

Viewing my hard disk in Acronis True Image shows Linux installed (1 x Linux Swap Partition [1.Gb], 1 x Ext3 [5.2Gb], 1 x Ext3 [3.2Gb]) but I cannot boot Linux as it doesnt show in the Acronis Loader.

Is there a way to activate the Acronis Loader to recognise the Linux partitions and boot from it?

Thanks

Silly new Linux-user not taking time out read the instructions lol :)
