2K/XP/FC2 Multiboot

[mad2001man]

Hello all, here was my setup. Dual boot 2000 and XP. I also had Mandrake installed so that when the system is started, I get Lilo if I choose other then I get the boot.ini menu. Other was the default.

I removed Mandrake and Lilo from MBR and installed FC2 on 2 small partitions Swap 1 GB and root "/" 17 GB.

I used Grub for multi boot. Then when I went to restart in W2K it showed a NTLDR error and XP showed hal.dll error. Repairing failed on both OS's Had to re-image. Now I still have FC2 installed but does not boot. I want to be able to boot it without changing the boot sequence from boot.ini.

My tools: Toms root boot, FC2 installation CD's "4". Mandrake installation CD's "3".

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Have you tried FC to fix the boot? There should be a optiont o fix the mbr

I have been away from Linux for about 6 years now, and totally unfamiliar with FC, I downloaded FC4 and I will re-install Linux once I go home from work today. if you have an idea on where to look for that option please advise, thanks for trying to help anyways.

Sorry can't say since I don't run FC. Just about to install Mephis on my laptop sometime today while I'm at work.

Thanks anyways, the problem was fixed. Installed FC4 on the primary partition on the secondary hard drive. Changed bootup in bios to HDD1 and I have grub to installed on the MBR of HDD1. so it is all good now.

Thanks for trying to help.
