Comments:
<0> che: you are correct, it's /mbr
<1> i have C: E: F: and H:, which is the linux partition which i cannot read ATM. DX
<2> Sonar_Gal: did I ask a bad question?
<3> ok... this is riddicolous
<0> so it's H: you want to format /mbr
<1> format H: /mbr
<1> ?
<1> *dies*
<4> thingfish, sorry making rice
<3> gthumb and eog are so useless, could someone recommend me a simple tool for gnome for viewing images in full screen ( i just click on it and it goes fullscreen, and i can browse whole directory)
<0> Once you do this you can switch the bios settings to boot from the 20G drive and it should work
<4> thingfish, Do you really want to know what hubby is doing?
<1> so
<5> ScobieDoo: The system is not booting, because the boot loader is unable to boot the partition Linux resides on, you will need to install a boot loader to manage both installed OSes.
<1> i put in my MS-DOS Startup Disk
<6> Wow... an hour for basic FC5 install... this is gonna be slow :)
<1> oh.. lol
<1> i put in my MS-DOS startup disk
<1> i type
<0> It shouldn't reformat anything, just install a bootable master boot record
<1> format H: /mbr
<2> Sonar_Gal: I guess not.
<1> and then i restart, enter bios
<1> set H: as primary
<4> thingfish, he's in the bahamas
<1> boot to H:
<2> bastard
<1> and it should go, correct?
<5> nslt, take a look at the comic viewer program, may be that's what you want.
<7> buoh is nice
<0> ScoobieDoo: ***I missed something***
<4> thingfish, the only good thing is now he gets to suffer riding the ship to port. 7 days on a navy ship is not fun
<7> its in extras (comic viewer)
<0> You said you had to choose windows from a menu?
<3> ok, i will Thetargos, tnx for suggestion.
<1> You missed something?
<1> Choose windows from a menu?
<2> Sonar_Gal: hehe I've heard different.
<1> what do you men
<1> no i didnt say that
<1> my ASUS Motherboard
<1> has a boot popup
<1> asking me what i want to boot from
<0> To reboot to windows, it's the same as before you installed fedora or there is now a menu?
<1> if i hit a key..
<4> thingfish, I swear he is on the ships more now then he was when he was enlisted
<1> no, there is no menu
<8> che: I just found this problem listed pretty much identical to mine: http://rafb.net/paste/results/Rt9Xvo95.html
<1> its like it was never installed, just i have a non-working H: drive
<0> Ok, never mind then.
<2> Sonar_Gal: I know, it's got to be rough, you miss him I'm sure.
<1> Wait, err... im confused now..
<5> ScoobieDoo, just leave your boot oder in place in your BIOS, and install GRUB in the MBR to boot both OSes, that's as simple as it can get.
<0> You probably don't need the floppy actually.
<4> thingfish, that's why I am driving up home, if he can have fun why can't I
<1> Thats simple?
<0> In windows go to start run command
<1> i dont know what GRUB or what the MBR is...
<5> ScoobieDoo, yeah, if you don't fiddle with the boot oder, it is.
<0> and do the format H: /mbr from there
<1> k, im in run
<7> johnfg, well you might wanna look for the problem in bugzilla.redhat.com
<2> Sonar_Gal: you have the right attitude, girl.
<1> invalid perameter - /mbr
<1> parameter*
<5> ScoobieDoo: GRUB is a boot loader program, and MBR stand for Master Boot Record.
<1> i know what it stands for, thats it
<0> oh crap, XP doesn't know that.
<1> what is GRUB, where do i get it.... do i already have that?
<1> how do i run it
<7> ScoobieDoo, its part of the fedora install
<1> is it newbie friendly.
<1> @_@
<1> ic..
<7> ScoobieDoo, if you go into rescue mode you can reinstall grub
<0> yes you have it. It should start your fedora
<1> Rescue, k..
<7> ScoobieDoo, if thats nec***ery
<1> once i boot to rescue
<1> what do i do
<4> thingfish, yeah go sit with a bunch of Italians the liquor will be going around the table
<7> chroot /mnt/sysimage
<7> grub-install /dev/device
<5> ScoobieDoo: Now, your primary drive is acting as the MBR for your machine. Just don't change boot order in the BIOS and now you can go into rescue mode and execute `grub-install --recheck /dev/hda
<2> Sonar_Gal: now that sounds like fun!
<2> plus great food.
<1> ok.. lemme find my rescue disk..
<7> ScoobieDoo, its cd1
<5> The rescue disk is CD1 or the Fedora DVD
<1> no its not.. o_O
<7> ScoobieDoo, just insert cd 1 and at the boot prompt type linux rescue
<7> ScoobieDoo, it is
<4> thingfish, food and drinks yeah that's fun
<1> yea, its a totally different iso image @_@
<7> ScoobieDoo, you can use cd1 or the dvd as recue medium aswell
<7> ScoobieDoo, the rescue disk is an additional cd with the same functionality.
<5> There is one dedicated ISO, but you can access rescue mode from the first CD or DVD
<1> ill use my dvd then..
<7> ScoobieDoo, will just work
<2> Sonar_Gal: do the men get in fights at your italian gatherings? they always do in my family.
<6> donavan: any luck?
<1> ok
<9> nope, moved along to trying to get an X600 card to do dual head
<1> i boot to MS-DOS startup disk
<1> and cd G: (dvd drive)
<9> (my laptop)
<1> and then what..
<7> ScoobieDoo, no
<7> ScoobieDoo, boot from dvd
<1> or do i boot from dvd
<4> thingfish, no it's the women that drink we have the men trained after about 3 hours they are all sleeping we are still going
<1> k.
<7> ScoobieDoo, then at the prompt type
<0> no forget about the floppy, it won't work
<5> No, you boot the DVD and at the prompt type linux rescue
<7> ScoobieDoo, linux rescue
<7> ScoobieDoo, instead pressing return
<10> ugh.. the openoffice update turned on auto bullet lists reformats...
<1> Ah, okie
<1> ill probably be back
<1> hopefully not
<1> thanks guys, again =D
<7> ScoobieDoo, come back if you succeed
<1> Restarting =)
<1> i will, lol
<7> ScoobieDoo, people here can help you with basics :)
<10> anybody know the option to disable offhand?
<6> donavan: Ok, always worth posting at fedoraforum.org as well
<5> I hope he doesn't screw up, LOL
<7> Thetargos, not that much he can break
<0> Then he won't be able to boot XP
<5> che: true, hehe
<7> tobiasoed, he will in any case
<0> I'm not sure how his install failed. where did his grub go?
<7> maybe he has bootsector virus prot on in bios
<7> hehe
<7> and cant install a bootloader cause of that
<0> hehe :)
<5> tobiasoed, he messed disk boot order in the BIOS, so even if at install he installed GRUB, he can't boot the system when the Windows drive is set to boot
<5> By the way, any Fedora Audio Guru in here?, LOL
<7> Thetargos, those are all on bugzilla.
<7> Thetargos, :)
<11> hum
<0> thetargos: not a guru, but I beat my sound into working
<7> Thetargos, found a regression?
<11> is it a good thing to have the daily cron madness going on while yum is about to update 650MBs of software?
<11> (beagle indexing, prelink and stuff....)
<5> tobiasoed: I have an issue with my sound setup... kind of complicated to explain actually.
<7> kiwibee, linux does handle multitasking
<7> kiwibee, :)
