LinuxQuestions.org - "Successful install" results in "Boot device not found"

Ok, so I install FC2 yesterday and although it took me a while to get the IDE devices fixed up right(doesn't pertain to the problem, i don't think), I finally got it "installed successfully". So then I reboot to start linux for the first time and I get(after a long wait to get the IDE devices detected) a

Code:

DISK BOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

That sounds to me like the MBR is messed up, but I don't know how to check that. I can still run the installer, repair, etc., but I don't know what do do with them. I had the installer set up the partitions automatically, but they looked kinda funny to me; though I don't know much about it. It made three partitions, instead of the two I expected. The first, hda, was the boot sector. The second, hdb was about 80% of the disk, of which I seem to remember seeing something to indicate that this was the system partition. Then the third, hdc, was just there. It was about the same size of hda, and didn't have a label, so I was unsure what it was supposed to be. There was previously a windows partition on this hard-drive, but I had the automatic partitioner delete it. The last bit of info that I can think of to tell you is what I got when I ran the repair thingy on the install disc and tried to do "startx". Here is the result:

Code:

I went to wiki.X.Org and found a thing about configuration problems here, but I tried to execute the xorgcfg in the prompt, but it just said "command not found".

I've still got it up and "running", so if there is anything you need me to do to get extra info, or whatever, just tell me. Any ideas on the problem anyone? Thanks for all the help in advance!

*don't know if this is a no-no, but I posted this thread on the Fedora forum first, but when i noticed there were only 2 people browsing the forum, I decided to copy it to this one also since it does fit in both forums in my opinion. Sory if i'm breakin a rule.:newbie:
