Dual Boot and FC 5

[bravo]

You may try this one:
" restore grub fedora core 2 after installing xp

- insert installation cd1, reboot and write "linux rescue" and hit enter

- mount the installation (done automaticly in FE2 at least, not sure about 
others. If not just mount it)
   # chroot /mnt/sysimage (or wherever it was mounted)
- # grub-install /dev/hda
- # exit
- # exit

and its all back to normal "
