Thanks for your responses guys. I tried booting off the FC1 CD #1 and went into rescue mode but although it recognized the three partitions on my drive (hda1, hda2, hda3) it could not mount any of them, saying something like: 'Unable to mount /dev/hda1: Invalid argument' . The same thing happened on all the other partitions, and then the rescue process terminated saying that it could not find any Linux installations at all. I should mention that before trying this rescue mode I did upgrade the BIOS on this Dell OptiPlex GX1 to rule out any outdated BIOS issues with large disks. If you have any other ideas, I'd really like to hear them. Thanks, once again.
