Read this post in a full-screen window.
My system has two 40g Maxtor ide drives. Both are on the primary strap.
One is jumpered Master; the other is Slave.
Windoze is on the Master drive. FC5 is installed on the Slave. Sorry: I
can't decipher the MAN page. I don't know how to copy bootloader to the
MBR of the Windoze drive..
When I ran fdisk -l, as you suggested, here is the result:
Disk/dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40027029504 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track/ 4866 cylinders
units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
