Hi, Jerryyyyy.

Welcome to NST.
It would help a lot for people who want to help you with your problem to state more clearly
precisely what you have tried so far, i.e. whether Fedora 10 and Win 7 are already installed, the
exact error messages, and so forth.
Cheers.

EDIT: Here's our documentation in the wiki on Fedora:
Fedora - NeoSmart Technologies Wiki
It may help you prevent making any mistakes when installing (if you have not already done so) Fedora. Good luck.
Thanks for the comments. This problem is reproducible and I am not sure if it Fedora 10 or my system.
First, the system is a Dell Precision 340 workstation. It has two hard drives. I have tried various installs, but what I have is on disk 0 Windows 7 is installed in the first 50 or so MB. It is was installed as an upgrade from Vista using the Dell OEM disk. Vista was a clean install. This boots alone with no problem.
Second, there remain about 15 MB that are unformatted on the disk. I do the default partitioning from Fedora 2 that puts /boot into /dev/sda2 as ext3 and /VolGroup1 into /dev/sda3 in LVM PV format (I am unfamiliar- but tried a manual format with ext3 and got same errors). I install the Fedora bootloader into /dev/sda2 as instructed in the Wiki rather than in the MBR. I delete the Windows 7 "other" OS when setting up GRU just leaving the Fedora option as suggested in the Fedora page of the BCD Wiki.
Install of Fedora proceeds normally. At reboot goes right into Windows 7 and I use BCD 1.72 to add the Fedora boot to the Windows 7 bootloader as per the Wiki. I then reboot.
I get the two options of Windows 7 and Fedora 10 on the initial screen.
I choose Fedora 10 and I get the normal progression of Fedora 10 with a little blue line at the bottom saying it is loading.
THEN, I get this on w black UNIX-type screen:
unable to access resume device (dev/VolGroup01/LogVol01)
mount: error mounting /dev/root on sysroot as ext3: No such file or directory
There then follow additional disgnostics in the format
sd 2:0:0:0 [sda] 143374650 512-byte harware sectyors (73400MB)
sd: .....
Which I assume refer to a description of the disk...
Now on Google there is some talk about the resume error, but I have been with Fedora since release 3 and never seen it before and I have 10 installed on 3 other machines dual booted with XP and no problem... using GRUB
Maybe this is a problem with my older disks but I have Vista drivers installed and Windows 7 installed fine.
Suggestions cordially accepted. :wtf:
