Ended up wiping Windows off of master drive and installed FC5 utilizing both master and slave drive. Install ran, and went thru the first boot configuration then system reboots.

After the reboot I see GRUB load up, and after that all I get is a black screen....

Anyone have a suggestion ?

back to the bit bucket............

Hi, you're currently runnig into graphical console? How you install FC5 from text mode or graphical?
Try install with kernel parameter during installation

boot: linux vesa

I will be back at the machine that is having this problem in an hour or so, I will reboot and document the sequence.... In graphical mode for the installation I went all the wat thru the install, rebooted, got the license agrremnet and such and after the last radio button the screen goes black, I can see the hard drive doing something, but nothing comes up.... Will get back with a post in an hour or so....

Thanks for the help... back to the bit bucket....
