1. Set the drive up with FC3 as the master on the first channel and the w2k drive as slave on the same channel.
2. Boot the system and mount it with the Fedora rescue or 1st cd.
3. chroot /mnt/sysimage
4. Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and have your stanza's like this;
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.7-1.494.2.2 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.7-1.494.2.2.img
title W2K
root (hd1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
5. Now this is assuming that the boot partition is the first partition of the first drive and that windows is on the first partition of the second drive, if they are not change (hd0,0) to like (hd0,1)
6. Edit your /boot/grub/device.map file and set (hd0) to equal /dev/hda and (hd1) to equal /dev/hdb.
7. Then install grub, "grub-install /dev/hda" (without the quotes)
8. Reboot and make sure your BIOS is booting from the first hard drive.
9. All should be well.

I have a Dell system which has 2 HD's and a current install of Win 2K. I wiped out the 2nd HD and installed FC3 on it. I used the Auto Partition option for this drive and installed GRUB to handle the boot load stuff. However, the system doesn't give me the option at boot to use FC3 or Win 2K; it just goes to Win 2K.
I tried placing GRUB on hda and then on hdb. Neither worked. I tried to reinstall the Boot Loader and, when I do, FC3 tries to install Firefox and then tells me that no images were loaded and that none of my boot loader changes will take effect.
I've tried alot of stuff so far and I'm at my wit's end. Any help would be appreciated as I'm new to Linux/FC.
Thanks much in advance. John T.
