I looked in the Fedora Forums and pretty much started feeling sick.
So I have 2 HDs, one with windows, the other with Ubuntu
I loaded Fedora to the hd with Windows and did nothing to ubuntu. Now I cant get into windows or ubuntu even after attempting to add those options to Fedoras menu.lst. I even tried changing the boot order of the HD's in bios but to no avail, that just gave me a grub cursor which I dont have the background to use. This exact thing happened to me awhile back but my old solution is failing me. Last time I added what was in my Ubuntu menu.lst to fedoras menu.lstand it worked well. Not so this time
This is my menu.lst from Ubuntu now, which has an I.D. number instead of (hdx,x)?
Code:
## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options
## can be true or false
# savedefault=false
## ## End Default Options ##

Also I can mount the HD with Ubuntu on it (thats how I got the menu.lst), but do I need to modify fstab to get grub to recognize things?
And last, I wanted Fedora just for an experiment with a game that loads as .rpm, so I really dont mind deleting it and getting my system back to how it was.
BTW I cant open windows either FTW
