    On my computer I have 2 HDs à 160Gb each.
    On the primary (no partitions) I have WinXP Pro installed and on
    the slave (no partitions) I have recently installed Fedora Core 4.

    My problem is that the GRUB doesn't 'act' so there is no
    booting choice: I always end up with the XP.

    There are no -what I can see- tips and tricks to find about my
    problem in the Hudson/Hudson/Ball/Duff Red Hat Fedora 4 UNLEASHED.

    Anybody who has hints in the matter?
