hello, i'm new to the forums. i am currently learning win server 2008 and linux as well, so i installed Fedora 17 and server 08 on two separate hard drives. Everything was wonderful until i something happened to windows and i had to re-install(i know what i did lol). it refused to re-install windows until i disconnected the HDD that had linux on it. So everything is up and running again, however the linux drive boots first and grub still has the old windows in the list but when you click to boot it says it doesn't exist. is there a way to re-direct this in console, or re-install grub? i really don't want to re-install fedora.

any help would be greatly appreciated. also if anyone can point me in the direction of a good starter linux book.

thanks,

anthony

Usually typing as root in terminal fix problems but really I dont know if you are using grub2 or grub legacy
try that and see what happes anyway. Remember to be root when typing that command.

Good luck to you!

bash: update-grub: command not found...

type

update-grub (sp) is not part of the grub package - it was added by as a Debian-ism. Fedora doesn't ship an equivalent, but uses its own variant of mkconfig. From a terminal as root run At F17 or 18 that should find your windows system.
Try this for Fedora doco.
