The
odds are that the issue is the boot order in the BIOS. If you had boot
from
hard
drive first and CDROM second, starting with a blank hard drive would boot
from
CD,
but once there was something that looked bootable on the hard drive, it
would
boot
from the hard drive. This would produce what you were
seeing.
When
you power on, there is a screen which tells you to press Del, or F2, or
F1,
or
something to enter bios setup. Poke around till you find the boot options
and put
the
CDROM first and hard drive second (Usually has a name like Primary
Master).
You
can leave it that way as it will boot from the hard drive unless you stick a
bootable
CD in
the drive.

Subject: GNU grub boot loaderHello,
I am a newbie to Linux and have been installing Fedora Core 2. I recently tried installing all the packages and at some point the install bombed. However, now whenever I reboot the machine, it goes straight to the GNU grub utility. It seems to have overridden the ability to boot to my CDROM so that I can reinstall Linux again. Any idea how I get rid of this?
Thanks,
Simon
