Hi Michael, I would suggest to do something like this:
1. First, repair your Windows XP boot in the MBR. You can do this by booting your XP CD, selecting recovery console, login, and then run the command: fixmbr After this, rebooting the machine will boot directly to XP. 2. reboot the machine with the Fedora 6 CD and type: linux rescue (not sure about the command, please check the docs how to reboot into rescue mode). After booting to rescue mode, let it mount the partitions, and run the grub-install and the hard drive which has the Linux partitions. example: grub-install /dev/hda This should restore your GRUB and your menu. Make sure that the linux kernel of Fedora 6 is inside your menu. Thanks, Hetz On 11/18/06, Michael Jaffe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I got the Fedora Core 6 disk that came out last Thursday. During the upgrade process, I selected the option Upgrade GRUB, which is supposed to leave everything else untouched. Now, I can't access the Windows partitions and when my computer boots, it keeps looping around the RAM check. I have reason to believe that the data on the partitions, other than the linux system software, hasn't been touched. Is there some way to recover the files I have on these partitions? Thanks.
