Thanks for everyone's help. I had to re-install fc6 due to some other problems, but now I have the dual boot working. Windows xp is located at (hd0,0) and fc6 is at (hd0,2). -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jim Cornette Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 4:14 PM To: For users of Fedora Subject: Re: fc6 / windows xp dual-boot system Don Raikes wrote: > Ok, the fdisk -l /dev/sda shows: > > > Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes > 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders > Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes > > Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System > /dev/sda1 * 711 17538 135170910 7 HPFS/NTFS > /dev/sda2 1 710 5703043+ b W95 FAT32 > /dev/sda3 17539 29649 97281607+ 83 Linux > /dev/sda4 29650 30401 6040440 5 Extended > /dev/sda5 29650 30388 5935986 82 Linux swap / Solaris > > Partition table entries are not in disk order I agree with the comment from Scott below. The starting partition is /dev/sda2 (1 through 710) but for some reason fdisk wants to call the (711 through 17538) /dev/sda1. This output at least is easier for me than the Partition magic which I never used before.
