Thanks for the posting. Sorry for the late follow up but I am flat out with other things and can still use Fedora by hiding the new harddisk.
There must be more to it than changing fstab because the 512 byte from hda that I use in XP's boot menu just creates a black screen.
I believe that "dd if=/dev/hda1 of=bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1" should have created the correct file for this purpose.
Can I actually use the XP Boot Manager on a NTFS drive to start Linux? I had the Fedora Boot Manager in the MBR of the old harddisk.
