I'm assuming that you are dual booting with the Fedora boot manager, grub, controlling the boot.
Boot to the Windows Recovery Console. Enter 'FIXMBR' in the console. This will overwrite the Linux boot manager with the Windows one. Reboot. You should boot directly into Windows. Now use any Windows partition editing tool on the Linux partition to do what you want.

Hard disk check: palimpsest or gdu-notification-daemon ?
by Rob
Hi
I have Fedora 12 and I want to monitor the health condition of my hard disks.
I use smartd as a background deamon to keep an eye on it.
Is there a way to let gdu-notification-daemon alert me when things go wrong?
If so, how can I do this in XFCE?
I also want to manually check it myself every now and then with palimpsest.
When I type palimpsest, the GUI pops up with everything greyed out.
When I use "sudo palimpsest", I also have the GUI greyed out!
When login as root and run palimpsest, I get:
--------------------
(palimpsest:23714): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Unable to open a connection
to the session bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote
application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the
reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
(palimpsest:23714): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Unable to connect to the running
instance, aborting.
--------------------
Can somebody help me to get this work?
Thank you.

F13-problem with graphical boot
by Joachim Backes
Hi,
Having a video card of type Nvidia GeForce FX5200, and running my F13
with nouveau.
1. If booting graphically (RHGB), then my box hangs immediately before
the gdm greeter should appear. No input possible, only Ctrl+Alt+Del for
reboot (If pressing ESC during the RHGB boot, I can get rid from this
behaviour, similarly to boot without RHGB). This happens since the
yesterday's (saturday) updates.
2. No such behaviour if booting completely without RHGB. Then the gdm
login runs properly.
Anybody has an explanation for this? Any comments are welcome.
Kind regards

what's wrong with my httpd?
by Hiisi
Dear Users!
On fully updated F12 system I'm unable to run httpd since
approximately last Sunday. Here's what I have now:
[root@imt ~]# service httpd restart
Suljetaan httpd: [VIRHE ]
Käynnistetään httpd: [ OK ]
That means ERROR when stopping httpd. In spite the output above states
it's running localhost is not available in Firefox. And here's the
last line from dmesg output:
httpd[19879]: segfault at 1 ip 00cb8ba0 sp bfa4c7dc error 6 in
sqlite3.so[cb0000+9000]
Could anybody give me some hint of how to cure it? My system is:
uname -r
2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686
rpm -q httpd
httpd-2.2.14-1.fc12.i686
rpm -qa | grep sqlite
sqlite-3.6.20-1.fc12.i686
qt-sqlite-4.6.2-8.fc12.i686
python-sqlite2-2.3.5-2.fc12.i686
sqlite-devel-3.6.20-1.fc12.i686
TIA

no sound from external speakers
by Ben Miller
Hello,
This is my first post to the list, and I've searcehd the list archives
and the usual places for an answer to this problem, but haven't found
one. I'm running a brand new installation of F12 on a Compaq/HP laptop.
At first, sound was coming out of the laptop speakers and only through
external speakers if I turned the volume very loud. And then it didn't
play out through the subwoofer. In an attempt to fix this, I upgraded
ALSA drivers to the most recent version. Now, I get nothing from my
external speakers. My sound card is: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9
Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03). Any help is much appreciated.
