Could it be that SP2 screwed up? I'm holding off applying SP2 until I hear more. MS is even giving corporation instruction on how to prevent users from upgrading before the company is ready! I read that IT folks are worried about the quality, as they should, of SP2. > > I think that this problem could be related to the famous FC2 bug (?), > but how can I solve this ? I don't want to also have to reinstall FC2... You didn't say if you could boot to Fedora. The problem as I understand it was not being able to boot into Fedora after installing FC2 in a dual boot configuration. Nothing happened to XP. Let us know if you can boot to Fedora. I supposed if you can boot into Fedora, you might as well wipe the XP partition out and use it for Fedora <smile> -- Clifford Snow
