Help installing Fedora 10 on Gatewy M-6814m

This is my problem: My laptop had Windows Vist installed by default, I made the partition of the hard disk and installed Fedora. Fedora worked well, but when I tried to boot in Vista, the system was crashed and I needed to recover it. When I recovered Vista, I could not boot in fedora. Any idea of what is going on?

Yeah. Because it happens all the time.

Hello, Martin_R,

Only one boot loader can have boot code installed in the master boot record. And most OS installers have as their default to install their own boot loader there. It sounds like you are simply going back and forth between boot loaders. You can either leave the Vista boot loader as your main boot loader and add Fedora to its menu, or you can re-install GRUB in the master boot record and Vista ("Other") is probably already in your GRUB menu. Either way.
