I have an FC6 computer that I'm certain worked initially but will not
now boot Windows 2000.
I don't know what more to do other than reinstall Windows and then
that's going to mess the Linux boot process.
Grub.config is:
cat /etc/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 /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=15
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

Which looks ok to me. However when I get the splashscreen that asks to
"press any key"
nothing happens? I can press Enter or the Space Bar and it ignores the
keyboard and contiues
conting down until the FC6 boot process begins.
fdisk shows:
fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders

Any thoughts on what to try next are welcome.
