Hello,

I have installed a Windows XP on another partition than my FC5.
The system boot
on Windows. I'm unable to do a dual-boot FC5 and XP.
The steps followed are below:

1. Boot from DVD, then on the prompt: linux rescue;
2. from the rescue mode prompt: chroot /mnt/sysimage;
3. then: /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda.

So, occurs an error about stage1 incomplete or something like that.

Any ideas, please?


TIA,
Vinicius.

Could you list your partitions?

1. fdisk /dev/hda
2. 'p' to print partition table
3. 'q' to exit fdisk

Attach the output in step 2 to the list. People might be able to help.


Hello,

# fdisk -l
