hey john, Did u check the bios boot settings..Does it match the place where the linux MBR is??? What i mean is that if u install FC3 in ur 2nd harddisk and have its bootloader written to the MBR of that harddisk, then ur bios should be configured to boot from ur second hard disk (not the first in which there;s only windows a windows bootloader...) Cheers Hari.
