fc6 / windows xp dual-boot system

[Don Raikes]

Hello,

I have a gateway computer which had windows xp installed on the second partition. The first aprtition was a "recovery" image for xp.
I had 100gb of free space on the drive and installed fc6 onto that.

My grub.conf lists the windows partition, but when I try to boot to the windows system, the pc just hangs.
