Hi,
guys please take time and read this. I hope you can help me out.
I am really really new to linux. But I have friends who are linux fanatics. So as per their advice I wanted to try and familiarise myself with linux. So on my p4 , 3GB RAM and 150*(2) GB harddisks system I decided to load linux on my second Hard disk. I made a copy of FC4 on a DVD from a mirror which worked all fine. I checke sha1 and it matched. So I was all happy till this point. Now I installed FC4 on my second HD, the wizard did all the work and it was time for me to reboot from which point everything went downhill. When I rebooted, linux was not recognised and it booted straight into XP. So I decided to take the help of the online experts and in the process did a few things to load grub on my first (hd0,0). Now when I rebooted the grub screen appears but now I cant choose neither of my OS's. Grub keeps re appearing even after chossing the OS. So I decided to recover my winxp using the installation cdrom and rewrote my MBR only to find that it also changed my partition table and so I have lost everything now.
I am starting all over again. Now my question to you guys is the following: What are the things I need to take care of while making a dual boot with Win xp and FC4 ?
Any help in this direction will be really appreciated
