Thanks
for the replies guys.
I believe that I forced the
reiserfs option at the beginning of the install. However, I am not sure about
this. I have since reinstalled using a manual partitioning of /boot = ext2fs; /
= ext2fs and a swap partition. All of these are on hdb.
I did use grub-install
/dev/hda to install grub to the MBR.
I had the same problem as
before. (Error 17 during Stage 1.5). You don't get as far as a grub command
line. You have to reboot with a floppy containing grub which boots to the
command line. You can then boot either OS by the manual method I described in my
earlier post.
However, what is really
strange is that I have installed grub to another floppy. This boots fine and
presents me with a lovely Fedora splash image and menu containing both the
options in my grub.conf file. I can then boot both Fedora and Windows XP from
this menu.
Why though, does it work
from floppy and not from my MBR? Obviously I don't want a floppy in the computer
every time I boot.
