Grub not installing


I'm trying to install Fedora 6 and for some reason at the end of the install it freezes when trying to install the boot loader.

I then ran the install and this time i ran it without grub being installed, this time. Then it completed the install.

At this point i don't have a boot loader. I next tried to install it manually but the grub-install is giving me a hard time.

Should I try i diffrent version of this stuff or what fedora 5 or 7? WHAT should i do??

Check your motherboard's CMOS BIOS settings. It may have boot block virus protection enabled. If it is then disable it, install GRUB, then enable the virus protection again.
