FC2 screws up the disk geometry and it is hard to believe that Windows will still run on the same disk. Below is fix which is easy and works. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-May/msg00908.html No lets be clear , Do you have windows and FC2 running on the same disk? Also on the disk with FC2 what does fdisk -l /dev/hd?? return? I would bet it returns that your disk has 16 heads not 255. I am not trying to be difficult but as the url above explains there is a bug and and you are the second person who says they are running a Windows , FC2 double boot. I have seen the bug on our machines and it is hard to see how once FC2 is installed that Windows could run if the fix is not applied.. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
