ok... well, it will be fairly simple. all you have to do is let me know what bootloader you are using, and i can nearly give you the commands to issue. if you are using lilo, then all you ahve to do is open a terminal in fedora core and type this:
su
password
then you are root, now you just need a text editor like pico, nano, mcedit, whatever, but i like pico- so:
pico /etc/lilo.conf
then add at the bottom of lilo.conf something that looks like this:
other=/dev/hd##whatever you windows drive and partition is##
label=windows
then save the file and get out of the editor, then type lilo and it will install the bootloader again, but with the option to dual boot. also, you can put both harddrives in, just make sure you get the master and slave right, google search if you dont know how, then you can run this to see what partitons are where. and when you put the drives in perminently, make sure the linux is on master.
cfdisk /dev/hda #this is for the master disk
cfdisk /dev/hdb #this si for the slave drive, should be the windows drive
then you can see what the partitions are called and to mount them use this syntax:
mount /dev/hda6 /mnt/hda6
for this command to work you will need the directory to mount to, and you will have to be root. so if you need this is exactally what you will enter the first time you try it.
su
password
mkdir /mnt/hda6
mount /dev/hda6 /mnt/hda6
then to unmount it
umount /mnt/hda6
you dont have to put the whole line for unmountint, notice it is umount in the command, not unmount, also this is for hda6, so you will be probably something like hdb1 or something. hence forth, once you have the mount point created, you dont need to create it again, so you just need to
mount /dev/hda6 /mnt/hda6
ok...
