Minor irritation

Justbill
I am dual booting winXP and Fedora Core4. This afternoon, I took a notion to run a live cd (Beatrix) for a little while just to play with it, and maybe install it to a jump drive. After playing with Beatrix for a little while, I took out the disc, and rebooted the machine into FC4.

Somebody pushed the History Eraser Button

mezron
There must have been a train wreck of considerable magnitude here with APK. Not only has his account disabled, but all his posts ever made have been deleted. I don't have any issues with his account being disabled, anyone that has been visiting here for more than a few months has probably seen it coming.

Dual Boot FC4 and WinXP, but KEEP my Windows MBR

lvglen
I've been reading all the posts about setting up a dual-boot system, but they all seem to have a common thread. Namely, write over your Windows MBR with the GRUB loader. The problem is, I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT! It's such a PITA if I want to uninstall Linux to rewrite the MBR in WinXP with SATA drives.
