Re: FC5 and XP dual boot problem

I have a WinXP machine. I added a 2nd HDD with the intention of installing FC5 on it and using the machine as a dual boot machine. The installation goes just fine on the 2nd drive but I DON'T get the option to boot to FC5 when I boot up the machine. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

So what happens, does it go straight into XP?
If so grub isn't on the MBR of whatever drive is selected as first boot.
There's 2 possibilitys. it's on the MBR of the other HD or it isn't on either.
If it's the first case you can try changing boot order in bios.
If it's the second you need to reinstall grub.
