hi
i recently installed fedora core 4 on my hp pavilion 810 pc which has windows xp
before the i also created swap and install partions for linux and went to installation
i choosed the grub bootloader and windows as default and every thing worked smoothly
and after the installation the system rebooted and when i pressed enter on keyboard the
grub bootloader showed fedora 4 and windows but when i booted by selecting the
windows option instead of windows xp the system boots in to the sytems recovery partion
configured by hp as a result i can't boot in to xp but fedora has no problems
my hp system has two partions C and D in which C is the main partition and D
is the recovery partition which is used for recovering system when system is unbootable or any other sytem failiure it is accessed by pressing F10 on the keyboard while system boot screen shows
IT can reinstall xp on to the C drive by formating the drive again
to install i bought a new 80 gb hard disk and partioned it with windows diskmanagement tool
and created the swap and main partion for linux.
my real problem is how can boot in to xp and what is the cause for this??
please help
