But were able to recover, since I had installed the MBR on a different HD (used F8 during boot to chose what HD/MBR to boot from). If I started XP (which was installed on yet another physical HD), I could get the partition back with the logical disk manager.Has anyone tried to install FC3 final release as the second OS on a machine
with Win2k or XP already loaded?
Or put another way was the bug in FC2 fixed?
I got into a briar patch with FC2 and messed up my machine big time. Before I try this again with FC3 final I thought I'd ask.
not tried C3 but have had C2 running and dual booting with win2kpro for several months now. what was your problem with it?
cheers

So what I guess I'm trying to say is that you won't be affected by the FC2 bug if you installed on 2 seperate HDs.
