Looking at the pages you direct me to show special cases of using

and you stop using the windows boot software.
Your fear of loosing windows has made you do the thing you have
now. I see no reason why a new kernel should cause any problem. So the
problem is elsewhere.
Please answer the questions and a way to fix the problem will emerge.
As I stated already, those were not the original pages I found and used
as a guide to getting Linux up and running on my machine. I found those
in under two minutes to respond to your original response. I don't know
the reasoning, perhaps it's NTFS on my WinXP partition, but it is being
very finicky when it comes to the MBR, and I don't have the Windows
skills to fix a problem there. The reason I'm wondering if a kernel
update might have triggered my problem is because the fedoraproject.org
page I referenced specifically states "you must reconfigure your primary
boot loader whenever you install and boot from a new kernel." Naturally
I'm no expert, but that seems a reasonable conclusion.
See my last email (sent minutes ago), and answers will be provided later
today.
