I know you guys are getting tired of this, but I had the dreaded LI.... issue with my Win XP / RH 8.0 dual-boot. My RH boots up on floppy and when I try to boot XP I get a screen full of zeros................ooooooooooooooooooo ........ I've done the fdisk /mbr ........... I've even done the console repair FIXBOOT and FIXMBR ............. now I can set my system to boot on CD and if I don't do anything it will give me the Windows boot options. But is there anything else I can do to fix it right. THANKS
