Is there any of you who has ever tried or are in want to run a dual boot with Windows 7 and Linux (Fedora) at the same time on the computer?
If there is, just try o follow the instructions below to avoid problems:
– Install Fedora on a separate hard drive without the Win 7 drive connected. This will make the install self-contained and nothing will be put on the Win 7 drive. By doing this, the *menu.lst* in the Fedora boot folder will show (hd0,0), which to be changed to *(hd1,0)* after the Win 7 drive is added back as primary drive.
– Then boot into Win 7, start EasyBCD 2.0 build 79 and select the Linux tab. Use *GRUB (legacy)* and check the box for *GRUB not on the MRB*. Add Entry and close EasyBCD.
– The folder *NST* and the file *ANG0* are to be put in the system partition. Fedora now boots fine.
– If you have the System Reserved Partition so give it a drive letter of O: and the resulting pictures are below. Try to experiment to see if you can remove the letter and still get it to work.
There may be variations to this or a better way, but that is part of the joy of Linux. You can learn so much.
