FC3 test2 dual boot winxp NTLOADER help

[hijack784]

Hi, I was wondering how I should proceed this.
I have 1 drive partitioned into 2. Windows XP Pro installed in
/dev/sda1.

I just installed/created FC3-test2 on /dev/sda2. I did NOT select the
GRUB boot loader. I was planning on using a boot disk but I found out
fedora is too big for it..

Right now I have no way of booting into FC3 unless I install grub. I can use th rescue cd and access the data on it, but is there a way to bring up the windows?

So, my question is: can I reinstall/upgrade FC and install the GRUB loader,
and then use NTloader to boot my system? I know FC2 messes up the
partition tables, etc, and its a hassle I do not want to deal w/ it, thats why I waited for FC3.

If anyone can help me with this problem, that would be geat. Thanks

You can acces you data with rescue CD. 'chroot /mnt/sysimage'
You can even install GRUB with this cd, or the CD1 if you want.

I'm not sure about NTloader...

Moved to Fedora Core 3 Test Releases.

yeah, I have done that /mnt/sysimage. there is no daata that i really need from it since its a fresh install... thanks for letting me know how to install grub, but I am still waiting until there is a good way for ntloader->grub

how would i install grub on that partition sda2? I want to do that, then use bootpart to work everything else. thanks

I dunno if anyone ever needs help on this, but I figured it out.

1. install FC on a partition and install GRUB boot loader under the (boot) partition, not MBR

2. under windows, use bootpart

3. walaa. can't be any easier than that, this program is awesome.

(i did have a problem installing GRUB on my linux, it couldn't access any of my drives for some reason, so I re-installed)
