All.
I just installed fedora core 4 - 64bit using the instructions from:
http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_4_installation_notes.html
I partitioned a new hard drive (400 GB) for Linux using the manual mode in
the install for a dual boot.
Here are the drives on my box:
Drive 0 SATA 0 -- 160 GB this is my C:drive where windows XP is at.
Drive 1 SATA 1 -- 400 GB this is where linux is (this was my I: in
windows)
Drive 2 PATA 0 (Ide1) -- 120 GB -- this my D:drive
using the df comand in linux I get:
[root@localhost grub]# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 378473076 7872052 351065584 3% /
/dev/shm 2002000 0 2002000 0% /dev/shm
Which brings me to my issues:
1) I can not boot windows XP - I just get a black screen with a blinking
curser?
As well as during the boot-up sequence I now have three options, instead of
just Windows and Linux, which is what I thought? Have I don something wrong?
What can I do to get windows to come back?
Here is what the grub.config file states:
[root@localhost grub]# more grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd1,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sdb1
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

chainloader +1
[root@localhost grub]#
2) I am not able to access the web in linux?
here is what my /etc/hosts file states:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
Any help would be welcomed.
Thanks in advanced
