Hi,
I have vista installed on a single SATA disk. I have added a new PATA drive which I want to install Fedora too and the dual-boot.
I have been following this installation guide: http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Fedora
The fedora installer recognises my drives as sda and sdb. So I select sdb for this installation and then choose sdb where it asks "What drive would you like to boot this installation from?" and tick the "Review and modify partitioning layout" button.
I then choose to install GRUB to /dev/sdb and remove and check "Configure advanced boot loader options". Then I choose to install Boot Loader record on /dev/sdb1 First sector of boot partition and install Fedora.
Now I boot into windows and run EasyBCD. When I go to add a linux entry it lists the following:
Drive 0
Partition 0 (Linux native - 0 GB)
Partition 1 (???? - 37GB)
Drive 1
Partition 0 (NTFS - 75GB)
So I choose Partition 1 and add the entry.
Now, when I restart, I choose the option to boot Linux and get this error:
Loading new partition
Bootsector from C.H. Hockstatter
Cannot load from harddisk.
Insert systemdisk and press any key
Any ideas????????
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
