I have to say that PJ Hollenback gave me the final bit of info that allowed me to dual boot winxp fully updated on hda1 with fedora core 3 fully updated with no<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/boot, everything on / and<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/usr, on hda5. I had been following the discourse on dual booting @ Ed's software guide on Linux and all I got was an empty file when I followed the "dd" command. The whole thing can be found at http://www/geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOW<nobr>T<wbr></nobr> O.html
A very big thanks to the gentlemen who contributed.
I modified PJ's dd command the the following to suit my installation and I now have ntldr booting
both winxp and fedora 3 perfectly.
"dd =if/dev/hda5 of=media/floppy/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1" Copy the file to c:\ then add c:\bootsect.lnx="linux" to boot.ini and away you
go.
Thank you PJH
