Hi folks...My first post! My PC has 2 250 MB hard drives, which had windows 2000 on the master, and FC4 on the slave. Its been this way for probably 3 or 4 years with no problems. Well I had an issue with windows 2000, and after trying for a few weeks to fix it, I decided to upgrade to windows XP. Well now when GRUB comes up, and I select the windows OS, nothing happens. It actually goes back to the BIOS, does the memory test and lands back on GRUB. The FC4 comes up fine. What did I do wrong and how can I fix it. Im trying hot to lose my emails, and address book. Thanks, I appreciate it!
