I have two hard disk. i used the 80 gb hard disk to install os.

primary partition C : - Windows xp sp2 already installed then i did installed.....
second partition D: - Windows Vista Ultimate which took over the boot menu to vista and old windows op system
third partition E : which i partitioned to (/ ext3 10 gb + for the sys files of fedora)
(/home ext3 12 gb for other stuffs to store) (/swap almost 800+ mb donoo for wat ?)

but still its stucks somewhere when starting...or while loading the Hal DEamon or udev. and takes lots of time to get the ipconfig for internet.




Please please do help i really need to start working and udnerstanding linux. REally anxious to switch to it. Wish the newbiee is welcomed to the linux community.

Hi and Welcome !

Its a Graphics Card problem only. Boot up Single User Mode and execute this

system-config-display --reconfig

Configure display settings and reboot machine.

execute the following code and reboot to linux and all will be fine. ???? plz do confirm !!

Thanks

Yes. GRUB Menu appears at startup having a list of all installed OSes. Just highlight Fedora title and follow instructions to reconfigure display.
