I tell it the use the second SATA drive (hdb) and configure GRUB to boot Windows XP by default.  Then when the installation finishes and I restart, I get an "Error loading operating system" and my machine will not load Windows XP or Fedora 3.

But once I finish the repair process (which basically just reinstalls windows) I get the same error on restart.  I know that dual booting can work because for a few weeks I only had one drive and had both Fedora and Windows XP on it, and used GRUB as my boot loader.

I am attempting to run a system with both Windows XP Pro and Fedora 3.  I currently have 2 80GB SATA hardrives.  How did you get the SATA drive work with fedora Core 3, have that problem dont get it to work, says no hard disk device found.
