grub/core6

[Ted Gervais]

I just installed fedora Core6 and now I can't boot up the system.

I have a dual boot system here; winXP on a drive by itself (hda) and fedora 
core6 on its own drive (hdb).

After things were installed with grub as my default boot manager I can't 
get into fedora 6 at all. A boot takes me right into windows with no
stopping at the grub process.

To try and get this working I have tried doing a 'reinstall' of core6 but 
even though the process said it was installing grub all over again, it 
never appeared.
And than I thought of using the rescue disk and trying to get things going 
that way. And that failed. But here is what I had done..

Fedora Core6 rescue disk - boot.
ran chroot /mnt/sysimage
Than I ran grub-install /dev/hda, and that gave me "/dev/hda does not have 
any corresponding BIOS drive.
So I ran grub-install again but used /dev/hdb  with the same result 
.  /dev/hdb is my core6 installation drive.
I even ran grub-install /dev/hdb1 and /dev/hda1  all with the same result: 
"/dev/hdX does not have any corresponding BIOS drive."

That leaves me at a standstill with no way to get into my Fedora 
installation.  Is there  a  way using the resuce disk to boot into core6?
I don't know there is a way, but if there is that would be nice to know.

The bottom line is -  what is wrong with the grub installation process that 
it won't write anything to anything to get the system to dual boot.??
