I have been lurking around for a while playing around with Fedora on a few resurrected machines. This is so much fun!!
So I got a bit cocky and bought a 500Gib hdd for my Dell6400 so I could dual boot for fun. I have to use Windows because that's what we use for editing video on the road, and I'm stuck. However, I want F12 on the 100 GiB partition that I have made - and it installed very well and runs smooth. (save for the wireless part, but I'll find that stuff later)
This topic is well worn, and I have done a bit of research, but to no avail. I keep getting the
"Error 21: Selected disk does not exist" when I try to make windows boot...see, I've been trying to make it work.
Please, one more time, for me...what should my grub.conf look like?
