<div>Hi, so I just bought a dell computer with XP installed on it
already. I also bought a Fedora 2 reference book that had a DVD with
FC2 etc so that I can run a dual boot. I just found out about the
problem that comes up when you try and run Fedora and XP together, but
I cant get a straight easy way to fix this problem. I tried to burn
the FC2 rescue CD and boot from that, but it just tells me "missing OS"
and doesnt do anything from there. I have also seen that if you just
go ahead and boot and load FC2 that after you can run something like </div>
<div> <font face="Courier" size="3"># sfdisk -d /dev/hda |
sfdisk --no-reread --force -H255 /dev/hda</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier" size="3"> and then it will work again.
Any help would be useful, I am JUST starting with linux so the easier
the better</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier" size="3">Thanks, </font></div>
<div><font face="Courier" size="3">CAM</font></div>

I'd strongly suggest getting the <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.sysresccd.org/">http://www.sysresccd.org/</a> iso, burn it
(in FC if you can), boot off it, and run fb1024 or fb800 (for frame
buffer, so you can run qtparted), run qtparted (run_qtparted command),
resize your windows partition (if needed), don't use this to re-create
the Linux partitions, since it will format them. Use fdisk for this
(pay close attention to partitoin sizes!! re-create them to the
block!), once you're done, reboot and try to get into Windows, you
should be able to.<br>
