problems upgrading from FC6 to F7

[Marc]

No I haven't used any labels.  I haven't done anything; I am just
trying to do an upgrade.  My FC6 may have labels, I don't know.  I
chose the option 'do not install a boot loader' and it still screwed
up my GRUB, apparrently. I know this because windows was my default
boot OS last time around, and now F7 has become that.  Not a big deal
but I don't like things being affected when they are suppossed to not
be.  If I can get it to boot properly I will then address the grub
aspect and set grub.conf back to the other way.

Also BTW this is one single laptop with one hard drive, so I know it
isn't a multi-drive or SATA issue.  I am going to try Tim's
suggestions next and will post the outcome of that.

Thanks,
Marc
