Hi everybody. I am trying to install Fedora Core 4 on a P3 machine with a 20 GB harddisk. The machine already has WIN XP installed. XP is installed on the primary partition i.e. hd0. I installed Fedora on hd6. During installation, I selected not to install boot-loader on hd0 but on hd6. I also selected hd6 as the mount point /. Then i copied the first 256 bytes of hd6 using dd command in a file fedora.bin and copied this file into the windows partition .To redirect to GRUB from the NTLDR, i appended the following to boot.ini in WIN XP:
c:\fedora.bin="FEDORA"
Now when the system boots up, NTLDR shows me the "FEDORA" option but when i select it a blank screen appears and nothing happens.
I tried to discover what the problem is and ran the FEDORA in "rescue linux" mode. Then i tried to look whether the start1 and start2 images exist on hd6 or not. But to my dismay start1 doesn't exist on hd6. I ca't make out what went wrong during FEDORA installation. I don't want to modify my MBR and thats why i did all this redirection stuff. Please help me.
