Has anyone else had this problem. I installed FC2 test 1 on a dual boot
system. Windows xp was installed first and then fc2 creating the
partitions manually, /boot, /swap, and /. This was done on a 40 gig hard
drive, giving 20gig to windows and the rest for fc2. I had a second hard
drive with all my important stuff on a 10gig hard drive which I mount
after booting to fc2. When I try to boot to Windows I get;
Other
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
on the screen and thats it. When I check the partitions with linux fdisk
it all looks normal;
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 40641 20482843+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda2 40642 40844 102312 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 40845 77332 18389952 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 77333 77536 102816 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 77333 77535 102280+ 82 Linux swap
but then when i try dos's fdisk i get
1. non dos partition
2. non dos partition
3. extended partition
4. fat32
and this is in my grub.conf

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this

I see a problem here with the differences in linux's version of fdisk
and dos's, the way in which the partitions are setup. I've tried
installing the dual boot 3 times and all 3 times it's been the same
outcome.
I filed a bug report in Bugzilla and it is bug 115980
I just thought of something..... it couldn't make a difference...it
shouldn't... jumper settings on the hard drives set to cable
select??????
Checking this out.......later
