not recognize ubuntu partition.
in fedora, directory "/boot/grub", file "grub.conf", add following

Thank you g. Thank you very much. You have solved my problem. If you permit I will mention your name to the forums and mailing list where I have posted my queries with the solution for others.
You can check "Dual Boot Query(not same as oters)" thread in Fedora forum for the mistakes I have made and the solution.
Thank you very much again.

*notes:*
replace "$version.number" with ubuntu version
replace "$x" with drive number. where values are 0, 1, 2, 3.
replace "$y" with partition number. where values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.
"root=" may be "sda$y", "sdb$y", "sdc$y", "sdd$y", or "UUID" for partition.
use "acpi=force" to force loading of 'acpi'.
use "vga=794" to display a screen sizing of 54 x 120
"\" is a 'line break' and is not actually used.
*also:*
look at what is currently in your fedora 13 "grub.conf" file to get
idea of structure.
if your 'ubuntu' partition is mounted, open file "/boot/grub/grub.conf"
and copy "title" info to your f13 grub.conf file.
hth.
btw.
if you would, please post in "text/plain" and not "text/html"
thank you.
