Which linux u had? I never heard for a linux distro as linux 8.3.  U
can upgrade from Fedora core-1 or redhat version to FC2.

If u had upgraded then the older version is being replaced by the
newer version. That explains why u don't get the dual boot because u
don't hav dual OS on that hdd. If u want dual boot of FC & linux 8.3
then u must partition the disk to accomodate the new
OS (FC).
