booted. I sadly conclude that Fedora has followed the Windows route
and doesn't recognize other OS.
Tried with XP, or Win7, or BSD, or FC17, all having their own
partition(s). None worked, none were recognized, pasting grub2
stanzas from previous working OS failed to boot completely.
Very sorry to see this.
I am confused as to what the issue here is, I have no problems
whatsoever. My machine was quite happily booting between F17, Ubuntu
12.10 and Windows 8 without issues with the grub2 boot menus being
written to the mbr on my first drive. I reformatted the boot and root
partitions and installed F18 from the dvd and it picked up windows and
ubuntu in its legacy grub menus (legacy grub is installed from the
dvd), and when I did an upgrade from the repositories, the upgrade to
grub2 picked up all my oses without me having to do anything.

Mine also installed from a DVD and all upgrades continue to work fine.
Found Ubuntu on the same hard drive with no issue, did not find the
Fedora 16 because I removed the hd from bios before install then put it
back after install. But having said that, Fedora 18 sees the Ubuntu and
Fedora16 in file system, in fact all 3 see all 3 which is great and can
move and use files across all 3.

Roger
