    I selected load everything and either I missed it or it did not show up.

    I used the information from
    http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=357963
     and it works perfectly now.

    My question now is "Why can I not connect to the internet."

    Thanks guys,

    I feel strange even looking at this software. I have been a Microsoft
    developer since vb3 (1986) and clipper. I feel there's no problem with
    people charging for their services or what they create.

    Research and development has to be paid for by someone or else there would
    be no research, but times change. It is nice to get all the major
    software you need without having to pay the $2500 MSDN subscription I pay
    every year.

    Just my thoughts

    Re: Fedora / Windows Boot.

    Hi
    If both hard drives were connected during the Linux installation it
    should have asked you if you wanted to use Grub as the boot loader.
    If you selected this option Grub will ask which hard drive has the
    default OS. If Windows is on the primary hard drive it will show up
    hda 0 if not it is hda 1, Fedora should be on the other. When you get
    here all you have to do is put a check mark next to the desired
    default OS. I have selected grub because that is what I use on my
    dual boot machine and it works fine with both Windows XP Pro sp2 and
    Fedora Core 4. There are others boot loaders floating around that work
    just as well if you don't want to use grub.
