I am having trouble booting up core6. I installed it earlier today and----

Now I am back at the same prompt with no core6 running. Grub does not
appear and the result is - Windows comes up rather than linux.
I am totally lost now. There is no sign at all that there is even Linux
installed on this computer, and yet I just took off centos which was
working fine and it used grub as its windows manager.
I have two harddrives (hda and hdb).
HDA is for Windows and HDB for Linux.
That is how it was with centos and previous versions of linux such as
core5. It always worked fine.
Now I get nothing when I reboot the machine other than windows..
What am I overlooking? And is there a way that I can bring up this
installed version of Fedora (core6) using the rescue disk? If this is
possible what would be the boot line to get things running?
try booting the FC-6 Installation Disc 1 or the rescue CD and typing at
boot prompt...
linux rescue
after it boots, it provides a message and offers to 'mount' any FC-6
installations it finds (good idea)
You can confirm the installation by typing at command line...
fdisk -l /dev/hdb
it should list at least 2 partitions on hdb...
approximately 100 mb /boot partition
balance of partition in one big LVM partition
If you can locate those, you could try...
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install -v /dev/hda
which should install the grub boot loader onto the boot blocks of the
Windows drive.
then 'exit' and 'exit' should cause it to reboot and bring up grub
bootloader
