thoughts?

thanks for the reply as i really want to get this working... ok, when installing i chose the MBR (i've done this many many times now) but for some reason it looks like it's installing to the boot partition regardless...i can try to install again and see if it works and if not then how do i set the boot partition active... also, since my last post i changed my 3rd hd to the first boot drive...it found grub and loads windows, but when i try to select fedora (2 fedora options) it says unknow format or unknown device configuration or something like that, i will try again tonight to check on that you said earlier that sata setups are different, is that correct? all 3 of my hd's are sata with the only other devices being my cd drives which are both ide, does this matter?

you around dan

i can find grub on the sdc, but i'm yet to figure out how to get it to load...any insight would be awesome

Are you still at the sata drive to be your first boot device? Please note that I will not be back online until Saturday am, as i will be on the road. i also am sata only...and my machine boots straight into windows...i have tried the above mentioned ideas correctly (i think) and am not getting a grub screen at all...i have sda1 windows sda2 programs for windows sdb storage hard drive sdc fedora install all that is per the installation menu in fedora... when i do a grub-install check i also have a fd0 in there which i have no idea what that is...any help would be appreciated as i'd love to start checking out fedora...and i believe the default install for grub is to the MBR
