</div>this is because fedora over wrote your ubuntu boot sector and fedora does<br>
not recognize ubuntu partition.<br>

<br>
<br>
</div>in fedora, directory "/boot/grub", file "grub.conf", add following<br>
between ++++ at end of file.<br>
<br>
++++<br>
<br>
title Ubuntu os ($version.number)<br>
root (hd$x,$y)<br>
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-$version.number ro root=LABEL=/ \<br>
devfs=nomount resume=/dev/hd$x$y acpi=force vga=794<br>
initrd /boot/initrd-$version.number.img<br>
<br>
++++<br>
<br>
*notes:*<br>
replace "$version.number" with ubuntu version<br>
replace "$x" with drive number. where values are 0, 1, 2, 3.<br>
replace "$y" with partition number. where values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.<br>
<br>
"root=" may be "sda$y", "sdb$y", "sdc$y", "sdd$y", or "UUID" for partition.<br>
<br>
use "acpi=force" to force loading of 'acpi'.<br>
<br>
use "vga=794" to display a screen sizing of 54 x 120<br>
<br>
"\" is a 'line break' and is not actually used.<br>
<br>
*also:*<br>
look at what is currently in your fedora 13 "grub.conf" file to get<br>
idea of structure.<br>
<br>
if your 'ubuntu' partition is mounted, open file "/boot/grub/grub.conf"<br>
and copy "title" info to your f13 grub.conf file.<br>
<br>
<br>
hth.<br>

<br>
btw.<br>
if you would, please post in "text/plain" and not "text/html"<br>
thank you.<br>
