Open terminal on ubuntu and run: sudo fdisk -l this will show you the list of partition tables Detect in which partition your fedora is installed... On my pc looks like this: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 63 123073964 61536951 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 123073965 488392064 182659050 5 Extended /dev/sda5 123074028 147910454 12418213+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 147910518 401914169 127001826 83 Linux /dev/sda7 401914233 485275454 41680611 83 Linux /dev/sda8 485275518 488392064 1558273+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Fedora on my pc is installed on /dev/sda7 Run command: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -la On my computer result looks like this: 03FB7F822F70FEE9 -> ../../sda1 42c11c5a-da30-4450-9cc4-4ef1fa09bdd8 -> ../../sda8 64127c2c-f222-440b-a008-446e61aee810 -> ../../sda6 64D1DDF95B5162F6 -> ../../sdb1 a3759d3b-9897-4df5-b6d6-e789cbfe179f -> ../../sda7 b8468ba5-c1a3-44e2-a970-a75fa03a2b1f -> ../../sda5 dbe874fc-e211-46c9-b8d2-f27bbccb51ff -> ../../sdb2 Keep uuid string for partition in which your fedra is installed. I keep for sda7 the string a3759d3b-9897-4df5-b6d6-e789cbfe179f Now mount your partition into mnt directory: sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt now type: ls /mnt/boot/init* Result for mine is /boot/initrd-2.6.27.3-27.rc1.fc10.i686.img now run sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst add at the end of file the following strings title Fedora Core 9 root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.3-27.rc1.fc10.i686 root=UUID=a3759d3b-9897-4df5-b6d6-e789cbfe179f ro rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.3-27.rc1.fc10.i686.img quet Save the file and boot. I explain why i put (hd0,6). 0 is first disk, 6 is fifth partition in queue (5+1) If for example on your pc fedora is located on first disk and third partition in queue then you will put root(hd0,4) Mukesh Sahu wrote: > Hi All, > > Two operating system were installed in my desktop PC, WinXP and > Fedora - 7.
