Newbie question
I tried to install Fedora Core 1 as a dual boot on a computer with existing Windows XP installation. The slight hitch occurred because
a) I have a third party multi-boot program installed (Acronis OS Selector*).
b) It seemed as if Grub was going to install over the top of it so I opted not to use Grub only to be caught out by the 'System does not support boot disks' at the end.
As everything else has been installed it seems a bit of a waste to go back to scratch. If I uninstall OS Selector would I be able to install Grub to boot my Linux partition without having to reinstall everything else? If so, how?
