Comment 1 Jason Taylor 2007-10-14 10:34:56 UTC

I had been running FC7 and Vista with grub handling the booting. I installed
FC8test3 from LiveCD when setting up grub the only detect/shown OS was the new
FC8test3 with no "Other" as Windows partitions in the past have been labeled.
The partions are all identified during the install 40 GB for FC and 40 GB for
Windows.  Current fdisk listing shows

Comment 2 Jason Taylor 2007-10-14 10:47:54 UTC

Ok, after the reboot and updates finished I just manually added the boot
information to grub but I am still curious why it didn't add it in the first
place? thanks and sorry for replying to myself
