I just finished installing fc6 over my network and use my usb to boot and then set parameter to install on my laptop over my network and everything work just fine.... at the end when install finished it ask me to remove any media, so I did then hit the reboot botton and boom when into windows XP(dual OS)
wtf no "grab" just jumb into windows so, I insert my usb that I use to install fc6 and rebooted and this time it show my grab windows to which OS I want.....

is this grab comming from my usb? could grab some how got install on my usb?

how do I fix this problem.... I want grab to be install on my laptop not my usb.........does this mean that every time i use Fedora I have to plug my usb to boot into it??


I need some help guys on how to solve this and why this happened so I won't do it no more!!!!


thanks guys in advance...

would you happen to mean grub by chance?

i have broken grub many times.
if its not grub, then im not sure if i cant help sorry.

if it is grub (one of the bootlaoders for linux) then you do the following

get into fedora and enter rescue mode (R) and type the following i think (i think it also works in console, not to sure though)


chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install <devive> (/dev/hda)

yeah that was a typo... grub it is...:-)


thanks

hope what i said above helps, if so. would you be able to tell me? so that next time when i break my com i can try remember to do that.

thanks, suicideducky

I tried that suicideducky and did not work... so I went and edit the grub.conf and set it to root (hd0,1) and work flawlessly!!!!!!!!!

thanks for your help anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate when that happens..... That happened to me today when I was installing FC6. It installed grub on one of my other harddrives. WHat i did is unplug all of the harddrives that I was not using and re-install FC6. Make sure it writes over the MBR..... So today's lession is if you grab a beer, open it, and you aim to pour the beer in your mouth yet pour the beer on your FACE, YOU HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM!!!
