Fedora Core 2 and WinXP dual boot

[Timothy Payne]

There is a bug in FC2 that reports the geometry of the drives
differently than the physical drive.  (why this is not first on the list
to fix I don't know)  What I do is have my FC2 drive as the master and
the win98 as a slave but you have to change grub to fake out the win
drive to think it's #1 to boot win98.  If all else fails and my kids
games won't play I can just unplug the master FC2 and just run with the
win drive, since windoze can't play well with others, I'd give it a D-
in citizenship.  But my case only takes 2 screws and the whole side
slides off and I'm done in 30 sec.  But I only have the kids every other
weekend, and it would be a big pain to do every day.
