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

#          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

       root (hd0,1)
       kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6
       module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
       module /initrd-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen.img

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
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

  Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1        2550    20482843+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2            2551        2563      104422+  83  Linux
/dev/hda3            2564        9729    57560895   8e  Linux LVM


Any thoughts on what to try next are welcome.

The user [not me] had plugged the keyboard into the ps2 mouse connector. The mouse was connected to a usb port.  The keyboard would not work until FC6 booted after which everything appeared to work normally.  Once the proper connections were restored things returned to normal.

Thanks for the response.
