F16 Live install to 2nd hard disk, grub failure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On a Dell 745 with WinXP on the first disk, we
added a second disk (SATA) and tried installing
Fedora 16 i386 from the live CD to the second disk.
During the install, the boot loader (grub) install was
automatic with no prompts.

After the install, the system still boots into Windows.
Grub was installed on the 2nd disk, but must not
have changed the MBR of the first disk.

Toggling the bootable partition on the first disk did
not fix the problem (no bootable partition was found
when booting).

Anyone have any ideas on this?

For now, I am using the full version of Fedora which
should properly install grub.

Cheers,
