Failed RH9 to FC2 upgrade

[John Rowan]

I have a beautifully working dual boot RH 9 / Windows Millenium Edition 
with GRUB managing which booted.  Having installed FC2 on a Compaq 
Proliant 6500 with new hard drives I figured I'd try upgrading my Dell 
Dimensions 866 from RH 9 / WindowsMe to FC2/WindowsMe.    I booted from 
disc 1 which passed checks and MD5SUM on the ISO images.  It reported 
that the partition geometry was set incorrectly by another program but I 
could ignore and fix later.  30 minutes into the install the machine 
rebooted back to the initial welcome / check CD prior to install.  I 
started the install again, opting this time to format the partion as 
there was nothing on the Linux side I needed (a test machine).  The 
install proceeded on through asking for disc 2 then 3.  Ten minutes into 
disc 3 the machine rebooted leaving me without a boot loader.  I tried 
installing again choosing to upgrade the FC2 install.  It asked for disc 
3, then said nothing was changed and the boot loader would not be 
upgraded.  I rebooted and just a grub> prompt.  It's too late to start a 
multi CD install now.  I don't want to loose the Me partition as it has 
my Novell client, Arcserve and lots of other stuff I need.  I guess I'll 
have to reinstall RH 9?
