Casale! It is just a guess but I think your grub boot MBR is at the beginning of sda2. Regardless you need to know what is in the MBR so I refer you to: http://mirror.href.com/thestarman/asm/mbr/GRUB.htm (and do a search for "dd if". The whole article is rather interesting I think) Probably the method followed in this thread: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/45911-dual-booting-windows-xp-fedora-solution.html is more in line with what you wanted. Have a lot of fun!!
