grub

[Bliss, Aaron]

If your intent is to leave your windows partition alone and just do a
fresh install of fedora, I'm pretty sure that you can just run the
normal setup thru anaconda, and it will detect your ntfs partition and
take that into account when setting up your grub configuration.

I guess the best way is to boot to Rescue Mode from the XP setup CD (you

do have that right?) and run fdisk /mbr that might fix it if grub was 
installed to the MBR of the disk.
