Boot Loader


Hello,
I've installed FC4 in my pc, before I install FC4 I had Suse and Mandriva, when I installed FC4 I 've lost Suse and Mandriva. So I restored the bootloader of Mandriva so I lost the Fedora Core boot loader. So I want to restore the FC boot loader and add to it Suse and Mandriva,
So How I can do that ????
any help is apperciated.
Thanks to all!!
Best wishes!!!!!!

look into the bootloader configuration file.

FC probably uses grub, which means it should be in /boot/grub/menu.lst Change it to include the other distros. Mandriva uses lilo as bootloader - I don't know where the config file is but you can change it through the Mandriva control centre to tell it where FC is installed.

I have found that when installing a second linux on a PC, the hard drive partitions can get their labels changed. If that has happened with your box, you might try using fdisk to label them correctly - there is an option for this under advanced features (but be veeeery careful using fdisk - read the man page thoroughly)
