FC 3 boot loader mistake

[talrejaharish]

This is why i have a problem :


I had disconnectd the 80 GB windows drive and only my 20 GB unpartitioned disk was connected for installin FC3 ...

So now wen i want to use windwos i change boot settin to HDD 0 and wen Linux then HDD 1 in BIOS.

dunno wer the boot loader is ... how to change this ???

I have done a normal desktop installation ... auto - partition ...

also if someone could tell me how to read n write on windows partitions in Linux and Linux files in windows !!

plz reply asap

and btw .... Linux is cool .... one more member in the open source community

Hey dude i guess u must be knowing this fact that,
each hdd hv a boot portion on it called HDAorB-0,
the place where we install boot loader or mbr,
so what is there when we hv two HDD connected then only the first HDD hv this part but as u hv saprated both while installing so both hv diffrent boot loader,
in first it's dos & in second it's LILO or GURB

for mounting ur windows partitions on fc3.. do the following

i am assuming that ur looged in as root and u have fat32 windows partitions:

first create a folder anywhere u like.... lets say a folder called 'drive' in /mnt

now go to terminal and type

mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/drive

ur c: will be hda1
d: will be hda5
e: will be hda6 and so on,,,,

to auto-mount ur windows partitons.. i.e. to make linux mount ur win partitons automatically copy these line to ur /etc/fstab file

/dev/hda1 /mnt/drive vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/drive2 vfat defaults 0 0

here u can add e: by adding another line /dev/hda6 /mnt/drive3 vfat defaults 0 0

make sure to make the 'drive', drive2' and drive3 folders in /mnt

otherwise it will not mount

WINDOWS IS TOO INFERNAL TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS LINUX partitions////
