Hi. I've just installed Fedora 11 on a third hard drive. I have Vista on a RAID 0 setup. The install proceeded with no problems. Reboot, no linux just Vista. Last time I installed Foedora (version 10) the dual boot was set up during the install and woreked fine, but that was with different hardware.

For whatever reason, grub (the bootloader) didn't get installed in the MBR. Maybe it got installed on the wrong disk. You can install grub after booting from the installation CD/DVD and selecting the rescue option. That assumes that Rescue mode can find your installation and that grub, etc., can actually handle your RAID if you're using RAID hardware. (RAID controllers are notoriously finicky with Linux.)

If /boot/grub didn't get set up, then you'll have to do it manually before you install grub in the MBR. It's silly to reproduce the grub info node in a Usenet note, so start with Rescue mode and see what you see.
