I'm a little confused. Should I be dd'ing the MBR or should I be installing grub on the Linux partition and then dd'ing the bootsector? Also this is on Win2000 using NTFS. Does that have or support fdisk /mbr?
I already have both windows and fedora installed with Grub running as the bootmanager. Apologies if I am
misunderstanding anything in the answers to my mailings as I am still a newbie and dont always understand everything yet.
Thanks for all the assistance I am receiving so far,
Vicki
