This computer has Windows 7 and XP dual boot, the
XP in first partition C:\ (Primary, active), Windows 7 in first of extended
partition, prior to Fedora 12 installation I made an image of XP c:\
with True Image, then I started F12 installation and everything seamed going
well, finally the F12 finished and to reboot, after the BIOS process and then
the system got stuck: only the cursor blinking a top left, entire screen is
black, and that's it, can't go any further. The entire hard drive was arranged
like this: First partition is primary and active where XP resided, then the rest
of drive is extended, first logical partition is Windows 7, 2nd logical is /boot
for F12, then 3rd logical partition is f12 swap, 4th logical is F12 /. So I used
the XP image file that I made before F12 installation and recovered the XP back
into primary partition, then rebooted the system, this time the Grub is booting
up and let me finish the last part of the F12 installation, the system finally
dual boot with Windows.
Can any one tell me what happened? Looks
like the F12 installation had altered the original primary partition that
even grub can't boot up from it.
