    Hi,

    Tried to install fedora on a XP machine.
    When booting up no windows found.

    Seen much on google but no solution.
    It has to do with the disk geometry

    Situation now is I just have a primary partition, nothing on it.
    When I try to instal XP, it gives the following message:

    "Boot from ATAPI cdrom:
    1. FD 1.44 System Type-(06)
    CDBOOT: cannot boot from cdrom - code: 4"

    All I want is XP back.

    Jan
