After a month of asking how to get dual boot working, on this list, another support list, in chat rooms, I have not had ONE SINGLE PERSON tell me that they installed FC18 and it found their other OS installs on that system, much less offered a hint how to get the other OS 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
