        Hello!

    On my computer I have Win2000 installed. I installed Fedora Core 1 on the
    same harddrive where the Windows was installed, just on the different
    partition (I created a new partition while installing Fedora). Why doesn't
    Fedora boot normaly? I have to boot it from the disk drive. Is there a way
    to make Windows booter recognize and boot Fedora. I have installed Fedora
    twice. Once I have saved boot information on the \boot partition. After it
    didn't boot properly, I installed it with boot information saved in MBR. The
    same thing happened. Now the Windows are installed on D-Drive, another hard
    drive (used for my documents) is now represented as C-drive (and is plugged
    in as a primary slave). In other words everything got messed up. If you have
    any advice, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advace!
