I'm thinking this is a duplicate of Bug# 115980. This still hasn't been resolved (to my knowledge). This just happened to me with Fedora Core 2 Test 3! It's not fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 115980 *** Make your default boot loader NTLDR
Make the linux.bin
with
-- one-line command--
dd if=/dev/{bootpartition} of=/mnt/windows_root_c/Linux.bin bs=512 count=1
--- command end ----
edit C:\boot.ini and add line:
C:\Linux.bin="Fedora Core 2"
set active boot partition to win partition
Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
