    winxp and fc 5 dual boot problem help please

    YO, typing in: grub-install --recheck /dev/hda Done Did It (worked lol) Your the bomb Danleff.
  2. I have 2 hard drives, both western digital 40 gig each. I have Win XP on drive 1 NTFS. I installed FC 5 into drive 2, I chose Fedora as the default boot. I made sure that grub was installed onto /dev/hda <--- at least that's what it said during the installation. When I boot up, it boots straight to windows XP, No grub. I ran the FC5 rescue, did the chroot /mnt/sysimage, and tried grub-install /dev/hda: chroot /mnt/sysimage grub-install /dev/hda and got the following error: I accepted the default settings in the installer because I wanted to give LVM a try. After installation, the PC only boots into Windows XP. I ran the FC5 rescue, did the chroot /mnt/sysimage, and tried grub-install /dev/hda: $ chroot /mnt/sysimage $ grub-install /dev/hda and got the following error: /dev/hdb1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. df, on the chrooted system, gives: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 mounted on / /dev/hdb1 mounted on /boot Any ideas?. df, on the chrooted system, gives: Filesystem 1k-block Used Available use% Mounted on /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 26282244 2968104 /dev/hdb1 101086 86012 11% /boot IM STUCK!!!! at this point My bios still has CD as STARTUP 1, and HD-0 as startup 2. I have not touch the bios at all. I've read alot from this forum already. HELP , Thanks
