On Dell optiplex-330 i have installed winXP sp3 on sata-0 and on

i have installed Ubuntu 10-04 easily installed within windows
itself using wubi.exe. Till today I am able to boot winXP as well
as ubuntu but unable to boot Fedora13 In bios if I set sata-1 as
first drive Fedora-13 will boot otherwise no. since mosf of my
work on winxP I am not position to use Fedora13 even though
installed. Everytime when started computer grub display Err 22 -
press any key... then to windows/ubuntu for selection.
Now I repenting for having installed Fedora13. Now I am afraid to
install next versions of Fedora14 and decided to not experiment
because I have re-installed Fedora13 atleast 5 or 6 times
resulting hard disk may damage. DELL technical people are not
co-operative to solve the problem of bios and help to set right
the bios so that user can choose any of harddisk using boot
sequence - instead of meddling with the hardware setup.
OK, please give us some info about which disk did you
install the grub booter on?
If you installed it on sata-1 and NOT on sata-0, then
the only way for you to boot Fedora is if you have
a bios boot disk selection menu.
At power-up, there has to be a Function key to press
that will tell bios to pop up a boot menu.
Does you bios have such a menu?
