what do you need?
8:08pmOless

how do you edit grub.conf?

cause fedora kicked my win7 in the nuts

now it can't boot
8:09pmTony

wait, you installed fedora on a separate partition? its not on a virtual machine, is it?
8:10pmOless

what?

yes

the partition one
8:10pmTony

if so, then grub overwrote your MBR

you have to fix it

ill help
8:12pmTony

so, how did this happen?

can't really help you fix if you don't tell me what happened
8:13pmOless

i just installed fedora for fun

created new partitions, etc.
8:13pmTony

ok
8:13pmOless

then when i went to boot up windows 7 it says bootmgr is missing
8:14pmTony

and when you configured grub, you didnt add windows to the list?

wait

bootmgr is missing?

hmmm
8:14pmOless

i think it's because OS is a different partition

do you have to save after editing grub ?

I'm in nano right now. how do i save my changes?
8:15pmTony

well, i don't think you directed grub to the windows partition

so what you will have to do

is to redirect the grub to

the windows 7 partition

8:16pmOless

i think i should tell it to load the one with OS

instead of the one for files

so for now
8:16pmTony

wait what?

no

your wrong

you don't make any sense. did you set up multiple partitions for one windows installation?

8:17pmOless

which one is it?
8:17pmTony

idk. it varies based upon your partition configuration
8:17pmOless

i saw 3 partitions

one called OS
8:18pmTony

lol
8:18pmOless

one called Recovery

and one called Dell Utility

8:18pmTony

direct it to the large 7 partiton

itll probably be in either NTFS or FAT format

direct it to the main 7 partiton

why use fedora anyway?

slackware for the win!

and it uses LILO, which will be a lot easier to configure

IMO
8:18pmOless

which one is the small other one?
8:19pmTony

i don't know what the names are

as far as i know, you shouold have

(sda,0), (sda,1), and (sda,2).

that's what i have

i can't tell what is wrote to which

i didnt write them

ok

i think i have a fix though
8:21pmOless

yep
8:21pmTony

what partition is the windows 7 partition
8:21pmOless

and i think i just fudgeed something else up
8:21pmTony

jesus, your a nubcake
8:21pmOless

nevermind

be right back
8:22pmTony

wha...?
8:23pmOless

flawless victory

flawless victory

i did it

i changed the partition to the main one instead of recovery or some spoon

hd0,2

and it works flawlessly
8:24pmTony



that's what i was telling you to do!!


8:24pmOless

that's what i'd been trying to do
8:24pmTony




8:24pmOless

while u were telling me about the partition i looked up the command to open nano
8:25pmTony

well, im glad you got it done
8:25pmOless

yeah
8:25pmTony

but why fedora?
8:25pmOless

cool name
8:25pmTony
