FedoraCore 5 dual-boot on a multi-partitioned 2nd HD

shazamtwix

OK guys I know this topic has been whipped to death over the past months. I have held off on posting, opting instead to review all possible relevant threads. Unfortunately, none of them have addressed my particular problem, and I am still stuck.

kc0sm

I installed new SATA drive in system. winXP installed on original SATA drive. Installed Fedore core 5 on second (new) SATA drive. During the install I selected to have grub installed on sda. When the system rebooted it booted winXP without ever going to grub.

Edited /etc/fstab and Fedora wouldn't boot

SideshowMel

I posted a few minutes ago with a question about reformatting my HD, but this post is to ask about the original problem that started it all, and how I can avoid making the same mistakes again. I followed posted instructions on several websites regarding mounting an NTFS partition under Fedora 5.

Unable to reformat SATA HD

SideshowMel

I had previously posted some questions related to GRUB and a dual-hard-drive, dual-boot issue and had very helpful responses. Although my new problem may be Windows-related, I thought somebody here may have a suggestion, as it is hard to tell what is happening.

FC5 / WinXP DualBoot 2HDs Grub won't load

SideshowMel

I am very new to Linux, so I installed a clean FC5 onto a separate HD than my Windows XP drive. In FC5, the package manager says grub is installed, but I still have to switch the HDs in the BIOS to determine which OS to use, there is no Grub prompt of any kind.
