Well here it goes, I decided to jump back into the world of linux, 3rd times the charm don'cha know.

I installed the most current version last night with no problems, but now I had to reboot to get back into MS XP (had to sync my pda) and it's not loading. No error msg, only on the screen after I select windows is something to the like "chainloader +1"

I'm including my grub & hd info

Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytesny help would be greatly appreceated.

And grub config:

Again, any help is greatly appreciated.
BR,

Try changing the line:
rootnoverify (hd1,0)

To:
rootnoverify (hd0,0)

since you only have one hard drive and the ntfs partition is the first on that drive.

classic problem with fedora

see this thread

Thanks for the help.
I'll give it a whack once yum finishes... bleh!... side note: is there anything out there better then up2date (which I could never get to work properly/promptly) & yum? I heard something about a program called synaptic, is that any good?


BR & thanks,
Mike
