I'm a newb, and it's probably not a so big problem, but I tried all the solutions I found here and on other websites.

I have 2 Hard disks:

hdc: FC3
sda: WinXP

Windows was installed before FC3.

I installed FC3 without problems, but when I boot with the hdc, I only get the GRUB prompt. When I start from the Fedora rescue CD, I'm able to get into grub and set everything (root, kernel, initrd, configfile and all the stuff), but when I restart without the CD, the prompt seems to don't recognize the harddisks (giving an error like "Disk not recognized").

The find command works when I'm with the rescue CD, but not without it.

I reinstalled GRUB with grub-install, and it changes nothing.

I hope I was clear enough and you'll be able to help me.

Thanks!

I finally resolved my problem.

It was caused by my CD-ROM drives that were on hda and hdb (primary master and slave). I just switched the IDE cables to make the hard drive primary and it worked!
