boot loader issue


Hi,
Another question for all you Linux experts out there I'm afraid.
I've finally installed Fedora Linux but didnt choose the option to install the bootloader, thinking that the Windows one would work fine. It doesnt appear to recognise linux though. Is there anyway to install the bootloader without going through the entire process again?
Please help

Thanks,
Tim

Yes, boot with the first CD or with the DVD into rescue mode by typing; linux rescue

Answer a few questions and read the on-screen messages, pay extra attention to the chroot screen. When ready follow the advice about using chroot then type something like;

/sbin/grub-install --recheck /dev/hda

When done press the three key combo of Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot the system.

If you want the Windows bootloader to boot Linux then see;
