I have a beautifully working dual boot RH 9 / Windows Millenium Edition
with GRUB managing which booted. Having installed FC2 on a Compaq
Proliant 6500 with new hard drives I figured I'd try upgrading my Dell
Dimensions 866 from RH 9 / WindowsMe to FC2/WindowsMe. I booted from
disc 1 which passed checks and MD5SUM on the ISO images. It reported
that the partition geometry was set incorrectly by another program but I
could ignore and fix later. 30 minutes into the install the machine
rebooted back to the initial welcome / check CD prior to install. I
started the install again, opting this time to format the partion as
there was nothing on the Linux side I needed (a test machine). The
install proceeded on through asking for disc 2 then 3. Ten minutes into
disc 3 the machine rebooted leaving me without a boot loader. I tried
installing again choosing to upgrade the FC2 install. It asked for disc
3, then said nothing was changed and the boot loader would not be
upgraded. I rebooted and just a grub> prompt. It's too late to start a
multi CD install now. I don't want to loose the Me partition as it has
my Novell client, Arcserve and lots of other stuff I need. I guess I'll
have to reinstall RH 9?
