Help - Can't get FC5 to boot on new installation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I got a new computer and installed FC5 on the second SATA disk drive. 
 The install went fine.  I told it to install grub on the first disk, 
sda, MBR.  It said that it installed it but it doesn't start.  It 
just starts the WinXP on the first drive.  Below is the grub.conf 
file.  Any ideas why grub doesn't work?  How do I install it after 
the fact?

Thanks,
