I set up FC6 dual-booting on a friend's XP, it did not put GRUB on /dev/hda like I told it to, I had your problem. I had to manually re-install GRUB. GRUB's fine, there's something screwy with the FC6 installation routine.
I had instructed the installation process to install GRUB in hda (the disk where Windows XP was), but, contrary to my instruction, apparently, no GRUB installation was performed in hda. I also suspect that the installation routine is not correctly written regarding this issue. An by the way: how could one manually install GRUB in hda? Paul
