Help on crashed Hard Disk Recovery under LINUX

[M.V.Q. Somen]

Hi,
  I have a deil Laptop with windows-me and 
  redhat linux installed in it.
 
  Now the Boot sectors seem to have been corrupted
  after a windows crash(protection error).

  The PC is booting neither for windows nor linux
  now.
  Actually under both the OS the Laptop is booting
  half way thru and then gets stuck. 
  Windows says protection fault but in the case
  of Linux "boot file systems not found" error
  is displayed.

  Is there any way to reinstall Linux
  on the existing Linux partition without 
  overwriting the personal data files stored
  in the root file systems ?

  If so how to do it and what options to choose
  during Linux installation ?

  Also if I want to create a Linux bootable
  floppy disk from another computer running
  Linux, what is the command to be used to
  make the disk bootable ?

  I would greatly appreciate any suggestions
  or help in this regard.

  Thanks in advance,
               --Somen.
