Triple Booting--VISTA, XP, FEDORA CORE 5

[Guest]

Ok, here it goes... with Vista Beta2, using the GRUB bootloader (FC5), I was
successfully triple booting Vista, XP, and Fedora Core 5. However, after
"upgrading" to RC1, Vista seems to have either removed or pushed
aside/disabled my GRUB bootloader and replaced it with its own boot manager,
which consequently does NOT give the option to boot Fedora, only Vista or XP.
Is there ANY way to reinstate GRUB as the bootloader without having to
reinstall and reconfigure Fedora?....

P.S. I have already tried the Vista Boot Pro, but it does not recognize the
Fedora installation either.

Thanks for any helpful information.

You would have to reinstate the Grub boot sector. Not too usre how this is
accomplished but sure some google searches will tell you.

Hi Ben,

You need to reinstall GRUB to the MBR, all iterations of Windows overwrite
the boot sector with their own code. Have you searched google yet? I found
roughly 1/4 million hits on how to do this:
