Fedora Installation over XP

cgupta24 · 12-21-2006, 12:33 AM

Hi,

I had Windows XP installed on my machine (c drive). I also have other logical volumes d and e.
Now, I have installed Fedora Core 5 over XP. I have installed grub boot loader in MBR. After successfull installation, when i reboot the machine, it directly boots up in Fedora. IT don't shows me the dual boot option - to select XP / Fedora at boot time.

Please let me know how to solve this dual boot problem?

Thanks,
Chaitanya

Thanks it worked.

When the Fedora boot image appears, hit any key. You should see a list of choices open up. Use the up and down arrow keys to select the one you want to boot up and hit enter.
If you would like to have the menu be shown always, when you are adding the windows install to grub, place a number sign (#) in front of the line that reads 'hiddenmenu'. This will cause the menu to be shown at every boot up.
