Description of problem: Fresh install from FC7 does not list or detect Vista install Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC8test3 How reproducible: Install from LiveCD with dual boot prexisting with multiple OS's Steps to Reproduce: 1.LiveCD install 2. Bootloader install screen does not list other OS's on system 3. Actual results: No listing or detection of secondary OS Expected results: "Other" grub label has in the past always been listed and modified to whatever Windows version I have been running. In LiveCD no such listing is present. Additional info:
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.

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 title Vista rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1
