This ones for any of the clever clogs out there that know about running Linux with Windows XP....
Okay so my problem is that i've downloaded and install Fedora Core 5 and it's up and running fine. Im actually using it right now. But when i shut down my system and reboot it, i don't get an option to book up in XP instead. How do i fix this? Cause I desperately need back into my Windows system asap!
Here's a walkthrough and basic system breakdown if it helps.
1 > Started with an XP system with a single hard disc drive: C
2 > Downloaded PowerQuest Partition Magic and partitioned 'C' as instructed but to install linux at a later date. This prompted me that when i'd want to install Linux i'd have to make the new partition 'Active'
3 > Came to install Linux a few days later (today), made the new partition 'Active' and rebooted.
4 > Ran the Fedora Core 5 installation and hey presto everything was fine and have Fedora Core 5 running on my machine.
5 > Go to reboot to get into XP and there's no entry in the boot menu - just one for Fedora.
Help! :(
How can i switch between Fedora and XP and if i need to, how do i make the XP partition active from with in Fedora!
Please help!
