grub: WinXP/FC3 combo problems
A major problem cropped up on the PC at home.Grub stopped booting WinXP, saying:
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
They got a technician, who knew zilch about Linux. He tried repairing WinXP, which I knew wouldn't work. Finally, he had to format C drive and re-install Windows, overwriting the MBR n' removing access to FC3.
My advice: If you're installing Fedora on a system which already has Redhat, do NOT upgrade grub- leave it as it is..
