I had a similar problem with Fedora Core 3. I had three seconds to
press a key before Windows loaded. The problem was an extra line in
/boot/grub/grub.conf. Copy below.<br>
<br>
I deleted the offending line and can't remember what it says but it's
located where I put the smiley<span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span>.<br>

Dear Kevin
<br>
<br>
Sorry to trouble you again.
<br>
I was in WH Smith and found the LINUX user magazine with a full install
Fedora3 - which is a bit of luck
<br>
<br>
Went through the install with no problem except now when I boot the
machine Windows XP - the resident OS on my computer starts.
<br>
<br>
What have I done wrong here. During the install it went though a boot
loader install which I assume was the basis for allowing me to select
which OS
<br>
<br>
Whilst in XP my D drive is not accessible which confirms that LINIUX
has taken that offer and has formatted it accordingly
<br>
<br>
Any thoughts or should I do a Fedora re-install and perhaps you should
let me know what option to take to enable me to make it a dual boot
machine
<br>
<br>
Sorry about this but I was close but yet so far!!!
<br>
<br>
Regards
<br>
<br>
Mike
