You should be able to modify the boot.ini on your Windows Drive and add the Fedora bootloader. This wasn’t too difficult but I needed to do a dd if=/dev/sdb of=linux.bin bs=512 count=1
Then copy that bin file over to my windows system.
With the way Windows seems to not like Linux taking over the bootloader I still use grub on my windows system with the understanding that it could very well one day not boot windows.

When you install Fedora you choose where to install the boot loader. It was installed on the fedora drive instead of the windows drive. It would be less risky to add Fedora to the Windows boot loader.

Change the boot loader or add the chain loader in the XP loader C:\boot.ini file

Hi,
I have two internal hard drive, and Window XP is installed on it.
I tried to install the Fedora 13 on the second hard drive it got properly installed but i can not boot the Fedora.
PC directly booting only to the Window, and no option to boot Fedora.
then I installed the Fedora on same hard drive on which Window is installed, and now i can boot both the Window and Fedora.
but i want to both the window and Fedora of different hard drive, can some one suggest what is going wrong. why i am not able to boot Fedora
when i installed it on the second hard drive (On which window is not installed )
Thanks in Advance for help
