What sort of "error loading OS" message? Does your BIOS support accessing the drive that you had Linux installed to? I have the same problem with FC2-test2. This is what I get when I try to boot my WinXP (labeled "Other") Booting 'Other' rootnoverify(hd0,0) chainloader +1 The linux installed on secondary ide master boots and works ok. The WinXP is on primary ide master drive (and worked fine before installing FC2-Test2). Same message: Booting 'Other' rootnoverify(hd0,0) chainloader +1 Occurred with both test1 and test2 of fedora core 2. (did not occur with fedora core 1) Windows XP on primary, fedora on secondary with grub installed on primary. Same error after installing Core 2 final release: "Error loading operating system" Windows XP was installed on hda. I added a new disk as hdc and installed FC2 on it. grub was installed on hdc; I wanted to boot fc2 by boot disk/CD. Anaconda is corrupting partition tables in some cases it appears, even when its not asked to touch them Bug #115980 is a duplicate of this one. On that bug report , there's a extensive discussion about the problem. Maybe it contains usefull information. I also had this problem, It looks like fedora some how messed up the way the system bios looks at the hard drives. The Solution is to set the harddrive type to LBA. I don't know how fedora could have messed with the bios, but thats what it looks like. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 115980 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
