This time with the subject...

Hi all,
I hope I'm posting the message in the correct list :)

I'm currently trying to install fedora core 1 to my "almost" new computer.

Aftwer I installed fc1 I've hit this problem that caused me an heart
attack ;-)

ot+found+hidden+partition+grub

now the real issue,
I installed fc1 but when I boot the machine I can only boot windowsXp,
there is no sign of grub ( I installed it the MBR)
