Last modified: 2012-08-16 16:29:48 EDT
Description of problem: Laptop Dell Latitude D505 Dual boot with Windows XP Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: I install Fedora 13 on: 1. Fujitsu Mod MHV2080AH installs fantastice (80 GB Disk 2 years old) Dual boots perfectly. LBA 156301488 2. Western Digital model WD3200BEVE-OOAOHTO LBA 625142448 DCX DA040ATHW WD Scorpio Blue installs and doesn't boot, This drive is a few weeks old Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change drive 2. Install Fedora 3. 80 GB Fujitsu dual boots fantastic 4. 320 GB Western Digital Grub doesn't boot, I have to restore Xp Ntldr etc.. overite the MBR and Xp boots ok, can't get Linux Fedora 13 to boot on that disk for love or for money. Actual results: 3. 80 GB Fujitsu dual boots fantastic 4. 320 GB Western Digital Grub doesn't boot Expected results: I would expect it to dual boot fine. Additional info: If I go in to recovery and chroot and I run fsdisk it doesn't see the Xp Ntfs, Boot and Linux partitions as not valid partition tables. I think there is a problem with this new type of disk. Xp can only see them properly if they have the latest service pack installed. Old Xp system disks don't recognise them either.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
