Boot Fedora Core 6 with Windows Boot Loader.
I have searched a few days now and have seen nothing that actually got the job done for me.
I have a Sager Notebook. Specs- Centrino Duo 2 gig, DVD/CD Writer, 1 gig ram, 80 gig sata harddrive. Reason for wanting to dual boot with windows bootloader is the Laptop can play CD's while the computer is off. So when I use grub as the bootloader it does dual boot but, it messes with the MBR and when in Windows XP I can't see my DVD drive. So what I need is help with this: Code:
dd if=/dev/sda3 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 Code:
c:\bootsect.lnx="Linux" I need to know what to do cause I try this and it seems there is nothing in the file and then it shows the Linux name with XP but, I guess I didn't do it correctly cause it doesn't boot linux. For example like, where do I install grub if I need to and what to do from the beginning cause, I checked other pages and it seems to start at the middle or end of this process. Thanks alot!! Diz |
You could also use the wingrub boot loader to load linux. It doesn't change your MBR but also gives functionality of GRUB.

Still can't do it . WinGrub seems like it only sees 2 partitions. And I copyied my bootsect.lnx file to C: and the windows bootloader will not load linux , I press enter on it an it just hangs up for a second and then reboots.
