I have a 40GB Primary master on which I had 4 Partitions with XP. I
deceided to go for Fedora core 2 still retaining XP.. I deleted one of
the partitions and created a / and a swap partition and proceeded with
the installation. Upon restart, the GRUB screen showed up and linux
boots up neatly. If I select XP, the screen hangs with displaying grub
commands.. I have no clue as what is happening.. could somebody pull me
out of this muck ? i have some data on XP which i cannot afford to
lose.. Iam a real novice and any light in the right direction will be
greatly appreciated..

thanks
Vj
