So, I have just finished installing Fedora core 6 by way of a recovery CD and an image of the install disk, onto a clean partition on a second hard disk. I still have XP Pro SP2 installed on the first disk, but I need to figure out how to dual boot the two. Yes, I have searched, but I didn't really make any sense of the instructions. It seems that I have to use 'GRUB'?

What I need is some dummied down instructions for configuring this... I know how to do any disk management through Windows, but Linux is completely new to me.

Help please?

EDIT: I should mention that XP is on hda1 and Fedora is on sda2 (It's an external USB drive)
AFAIK most distros come with GRUB or LILO pre-installed, well, they have to, every OS needs a bootloader. :zippy:
f you boot from your errr USB? (:s) the bootloader from Fedore (usually grub or lilo) will appear. I've used distros whit grub and lilo, and both of them finds Windows, so in general you wouldn't have to do anything.
