It was a little tricky > restoring the mbr (my win2k server cd isnt bootable but my > win2k pro cd was) Seems to me you were installin the mbr into the 1st hard disk. (which is your Windows I suspect) If I understand correctly, you had grub installed into /dev/hda (this is windows right?) and then you're trying to boot into /dev/hdb3 (which is FC1). But in placing grub into /dev/hda you are wiping away your windows mbr which is why you can't boot into windows. (do you see the windows boot loader or do you see grub once you boot up?) Based on your grub settings, I suspect that's what happened.. Somehow grub wasn't installed right. (I had that problem too.. though I thought it was because I had 2 grubs, one in /dev/hda5(FC1) and another in /dev/hda7(RH9), used knoppix to grub-install over it again. Try booting into your FC install CD and type "linux rescue" at the prompt then do a #/sbin/grub-install --root-directory=/dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7 ^^^^ this is where FC mounted your RH directory. may be different from mine. (since I use Knoppix) I think it's /mnt/sysimage/hda7???
