I just installed Fedora core 3 on my computer but I can't boot Fedora.

I have 2 physica hard drives with 2 operating systems, om the first
hard drive I have windows  2000 and on the second one I have windows
XP. I installed Fedora on the 2nd harddrive, and the root partition is
not within the first 1024 sectors--as XP is using that.

All the installation process was successful, except that when I
rebooted the computer, it does not show Fedora option in the OS load,
all I can see is win 2000 and win XP.

You either need to install LILO in the MBR of first drive, or have yuor BIOS boot off the second drive (if it supports it, and of course provided LILO is installed there). The easiest way is to boot into rescue mode, let Anaconda mount partitions for you, when you get shell prompt do "chroot /mnt/sysimage", and than go to /etc (remember, you are chrooted), and edit boot line in lilo.conf to point to /dev/hda.


Of course, provided that you want LILO install itself into MBR.
