I just upgraded a system that had XP and Fedora 8 to Fedora 9 with a clean 
install. The XP is on hd0 and the Linux is on hd1. With Fedora 8, this was 
installed and worked with no problem.

After installing Fedora 9, the system would initially not boot either OS. A 
check of the grub optoin showed the drives were reversed, it was using hd0 
for the linux, and hd1 for the XP. Using th grub edit option, I was able to edit 
the boot line, and correct it, and then later made the changes in the 
grub.conf file itself. Had some problems with the grub edit option not 
working, and had to try it a couple times to get it to change, but after 
physically changing the file, it can boot boot with either OS with no problem.
