Are you sure it blew away the install, and didn't just munge the bootloader? I it happen to me where I told F8 anaconda to ignore /dev/sda (which has F7 and Windows on it) and only install to a USB stick on /dev/sdb (blank flash memory stick). When the install finished, it was supposed to have written GRUB to /dev/sdb, but I found that anaconda wrote grub to /dev/sda, but got it wrong so that the only thing the hard drive booted to was a blank screen with the words "GRUB" in the top left corner. It was simple to restore the bootloader by using a F7 rescue CD, chroot /mnt/sysimage, grub-install /dev/sda. The F7 install, Windows, etc. were fine after that. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
