Fedora Users — Re: Dual Boot and FC 5

You may try this one:
" restore grub fedora core 2 after installing xp

- insert installation cd1, reboot and write "linux rescue" and hit enter

- mount the installation (done automaticly in FE2 at least, not sure aboutothers. If not just mount it)

  # chroot /mnt/sysimage (or wherever it was mounted)
- # grub-install /dev/hda
- # exit
- # exit

and its all back to normal "

Subject: RE: Dual Boot and FC 5

OK, I have a working FC 5 upgrade with a good Win Xp partition that willno

longer boot.

What is the best way to recover to where grub will boot the XP?

From reading the two threads here, and I want to keep grub on the master

boot record, it looks like I could:

1. Reinstall Win Xp (repair?)

2. Upgrade FC 5 over the current FC 5 installation

And, in any event, save the current MBR (but 512 bytes or 446?).

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
