Ok, short story, I'm use to handle Windows OS, this is my first time installing a Linux Os on a mostly Windows HDD, I'm trying to instal Xp uE7 (Unnatended Edition 7) + Vista + Fedora 8, everything goes fine all partitions are ok, But i cannot get Fedora's bootloader to identify my other partitions, plus is not even appearing on the boot screen.

I need help with this one, I don't know where the mistake is.

Thanx.

Hey Raven and welcome aboard. I split your post off the unrelated other.

Grab a fresh copy of your favourite distro and install it on an unformatted partition. It will take over your MBR. BTW, are all those OS's on one disk?

I think that Fedora uses GRUB. It's possible that they didn't include a version of GRUB new enough to pick up Vista in FC8, or possibly it was setup incorrectly on the install disk to properly configure things. Either way, have you tried looking at the Dual Boot guide we have here to get Vista and Linux working together? If you can get Vista to be recognized by GRUB, then it should be relatively simple to get XP working with the mix as well.
