I thought the problem only existed with WinXP, not Win2k. I dual boot
with Win2k and FC2 with no problems, but I had to run the following to
fix my dual boot winxp/FC2 installation:
/sbin/sfdisk -d /dev/hda | /sbin/sfdisk --no-reread -H255 /dev/hda
This assumes the boot drive is /dev/hda of course.
I got the fix from: http://lwn.net/Articles/86835/
