I will have to side with Jim on this one. My windblows load is full of holes and is a spyware target, I cannot use it long without running spy cleaning crap and getting rid of all kinda crap. [BTW I keep it around because I am being forced to, due to license related crap from the CBTNuggets training CDROM I have which is windows- only (likely my last purchase from them). ] I only had one thing with LABEL= which IIRC was my / partition. I did try resizing the partitions, renaming / to /old and creating a new / partition. When Fedora came up it has a /old but there is nothing in it. Also I did the 'rescue' mode thing and when it mounted the OS under /mnt/sysimage I THEN tried things like recursively copying /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab to /etc/ and even copying /mnt/sysimage/etc/ to /etc. Neither option 'stuck' for the reboot, and I am not sure why they weren't written to disk. Maybe I should've dd'd them there? Also I monkeyed with rem-ing out certain lines within fstab but that was unproductive as well. Next time I'll read the release notes FIRST to see if there is a 'rescue' option or setting to pick up on. In my case I didn't lose any huge amounts of data or anything too critical, so I just wound up reinstalling from scratch. Also fyi I have discovered that basically whether you tell F7 to install a boot loader, OR whether you choose 'do not install a boot loader' (pretty straightforward right?) ---it screws with your boot settings regardless. Thanks for the help guys. Marc On 6/25/07, Jim Cornette <fc-cornette@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

It reboots in cycles, reassigns the boot drive if another peripheral is installed. Not to mention the Anti-Virus needs to even surf the Internet. Oh well, FC does not get things wrong as much as XP seems to in the computer environment that I use.
