Setup Dual boot with no grub but....

Hunter69 · 03-02-2005, 10:40 PM

I finally created my dual boot Fedora core 3 workstation. I chose not to install the grub bootloader. I wanted to create/save the grub on a floppy. At no time during the install did it offer to create a boot disk or save the grub bootloader to a floppy.

By the way I do not have any boot issues with my winxp partition

the main thing I did was change my bios setting to LBA.

So Fedora is installed I just can't boot into the operating system.

How can I create this floppy to fix my problem???

it looks like MS still has the mbr and so you may care to read my tutorial on how to create or amend a dual boot entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst

your linux cd should have a rescue mode to boot you into linux

or use a knoppix cd
