This all looks fine. How large is sda3, and how far from the start of the disk. If using bios boot, the boot partition has restrictions on its location. > > So how do I install the bootloader in F24 so that it boots sda3? > > Is grub still being used? It's now grub2. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2 I think if this is a recent version of windows that you will need to use UEFI to boot, though I'm not very familiar with it. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/22/html/Multiboot_Guide/BOOT-BIOS_or_UEFI.html https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html-single/UEFI_Secure_Boot_Guide/ If you are using a bios boot, you need to install the grub2 bootloader on the disk for the bios to find. I think the command is grub2-install /dev/sda in your case. You would have to boot a rescue image somehow to do that. But, the fedora installer, anaconda, should have taken care of all of this. How did you install? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
