Hi all, I'm having a SATA hard drive on which Windows XP resides(made as Primary slave in bios) and a IDE hard drive(made as Secondary Master) where i installed Fedora Core 5 recently and after installed successfully and rebooted it did not ask for dual boot and went directly to Windows XP. I've made boot loader to load on MBR when installing Fedora core 5. What can i do to get dual boot option? Thanks and Rrgds, Ramki.

As from my previous post,i've installed Fedora Core 5. But now i've a big problem. Definitely need help on this! I installed some some software(don't remember the name) which showed the linux partitions on windows system which i downloaded from net. A seperate drive was created(R drive) and it showed grub folder contents only in it. I deleted the software but the drive did not disappear. I decided to delete the Linux from my system and deleted the Linux Partition using Partition Magic 8. Now here the trouble starts. I rebooted my system to find grub prompt only and i'm not getting OS selection screen. I tried to install a fresh copy of Win XP(my other OS which was before) but somehow i doesn't start the installation( I have an XP boot disc) It says "Setup is inspecting your computer configuration" and after this it doesn't do anything. After a few failed attempts of booting through XP cd, now the computer doesn't start atall. Even as i switch on the system power button, i don't see CPU fan rotating. I've a SATA hard drive(160GB) and when i start the computer with IDE hard drive(my spare drive) the system boots! I'm stuck and Please anyone help me as i don't know what to do and i don't want to loose any data on the drive. Thanks Ramki.

Thanks oct326 and danleff... I however installed Linux again on Sata drive itself and changed the grub.conf file listing of Windows to rootverify (hda0,0), earlier it was rootverify (hda0,4).... problem solved. Now i'm gettign dual boot option. thanks once again.
