Yesterday i installed Fedora 9 (removing Fedora 8) on my system. During the install i configured it to boot my XP partition by default but its booting Fedora by default. The grub.conf seems right, so i'm not too sure else i should do...is there another file that has to be edited?
Also i can't get into my windows partitions from fedora (wasn't a problem with version 8). the windows partitions are NTFS. I know linux can't write to NTFS drives but it can read them, thats all i need...for now. What can i do to fix the access issue?
thanks in advance.

the boot loader issue has been fixed. what happened was after a update 2 fedora options (plus windows) were in the boot loader, so i commented out the older fedora option but forgot the change the default option to the correct value. there were 3 options so the default went was a value of 2 (for windows), but when you comment out a block there are now 2 options to select, so the default has to be changed to a value of 1 (for windows, since fedora is first on the list).
but the issue with not being able to access the ntfs partitions still exists.

Hi.
I'm using my old Windows NTFS HDD's on my Ubuntu installation with both Read and Write enabled.
I'm not all that clear on the specifics, but I believe Ubuntu 8.04 ships with the 'ntfs-3g' driver, which enables it to both read and write to NTSF.
I just created a /media/ExtraDisk directory and edited my /etc/fstab file to include my drive, somewhat like: -
/dev/sdc2 /media/ExtraDisk ntfs nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0
-
And now it's loaded automatically on startup.
Maybe you can find a 'ntfs-3g' version for Fedora via yum?

Fedora 9 has 'ntfs-3g' already installed but when i click on the drive from the computer folder it just sits there doing nothing.

Hi
I have a big j2ee appliction that was so forth run on a single cpu
machine.
I have tested it on a dual cpu machine, its running much slower (about
X3 times slower).
I know that synchronize code fragments (indirect ones as well, such as
the fact that StringBuffer is synchronized) can make code run slower

I am trying to dual boot Windows XP x64 on my computer. I recently upgraded
my MB and Processor to 64 bit. I have a WD Raptor Drive (72G 10,00 RPM SATA)
that I have partitioned into 2 35Gb (approx) partitions.
I loaded XP home on one and it ran fine. Then I loaded x64 on the other and
I couldn't get XP home to boot even though I saw the files on my D partition.
I reloaded XP Home on the D partition and FINALLY got the dual boot option...

I had a preloaded XP 32 on SATA HDD from DELL. I added a new SATA HDD to the
system to install XP 64. The PC has no floppy drive and when running the OEM
x64 CD, no disk drives were found (no SATA drivers - I'm guessing). I put the
SATA HDD in a different DELL machine and X64 installed just fine. I then
added the x64 HDD to the original PC, added the X64 Edition to the boot.ini
file, but when selecting the x64 OS, the XP 32 installs. ...

Hello,
I recently had to perform a repair install on WinXP Pro SP2 on a system which is dual boot with Vista Business 32-bit.
Since the repair install, the dual boot option menu no longer appears. I assume the repair install overwrote the relevant boot files on the C:\ drive.
How can I restore these options?
Regards,
Rob.
