Hi

Welcome to LQ!!!

Here is the link that will help you: http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/29...xp-bootloader/

so when you installed fedora you overwrote the windows X bootloader

run fixmbr from the install cd

Hi, I have the same problem. But since Windows XP was pre-installed when I bought my computer I don't have a windows XP CD. How can I boot windows? Please help!
