Setup F15 hard drive on a different computer /dev/sda and sent hard drive to a friend to put in his computer as /dev/sdb , behind WindowsXp and went into the rescue mode to run grub-install /dev/sda , getting a error message;
What you mean with behind Windows XP?
"sdc2 Does not have any corresponding BIOS drive".
There is only two hard drives and a DVDrom in this computer, I can't understand the sdc2 unless fedora see's this drive , slave hard drive as sdc2 instead of sdb2 , partition 2 is where the / partition is for Fedora. WindowsXP is on Master drive.
Master/Slave? Disk is PATA drive or SATA drive?
Hard Drive is recognized by BIOS as a Slave sdb.
I guess the Device map is different and causing problems, How do I fix this to get boot sector on /dev/sda
Can the command grub-install --recheck /dev/sda fix the problem.

It would be nice if you could send "fdisk -l" output and grub.conf. grub counts disks and partition from 0. (hd0,0) first disk first partion (hd1,0) second disk first partition .... etc
Linux kernel enumerate disks as: sda - whole disk sda1 -first disk first partition sdb - whole disk sdb1 - second disk first partition
