Description of problem: Even though I installed to a system with running Windows XP, afterwards I am not able to boot Windows from the menu, Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 1/1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. 1. Install Windows (I have an HP DC7000p SFF with Windows preinstalled. See below) 2. Install F8Test3. I did so from DVD 3. Actual results: Grub's menu had one entry: for Fedora. Expected results: One, preferably two, entries for Windows and one for Fedora. Additional info: Here is my partition table after the install: [root@potoroo ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xd42ad42a Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 8669 69633711 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 8671 9715 8393962+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 9716 9728 104422+ 72 Unknown /dev/sda4 9729 38913 234428512+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 9729 9741 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda6 9742 38913 234324058+ 8e Linux LVM [root@potoroo ~]# Before the install, the first three entries existed. They were created by copying (with dd) the original, 80 Gb, drive. sda1 is the Windows system. sda2 is the recovery partition. I have not perused its contents, but I expect it's a bootable Windows system. Here is the relevant line from the ks file that Anaconda created: bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda --append="pci=nomsi,nommconf rhgb quiet" Here is the grub menu. I have changed the timeout, 5s is too short, and removed "hiddenmenu" - IMV hiding the menu is stupid.
