    Question fedora 11 boot loader not get installed

    Yesterday i installed fedora 11.My system already have 2 operating systems xp and ubuntu 9.04. After i finished the installation of fedora i found that boot loader is missing. To rectify that i got into the system with my ubuntu live cd and execute the following commands:

    terminal> grub

    grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

    it showed the following error message

    error 15: file not found

    while partitioning i specified, use free space only... how can i rectify this problem .. how should i partition the disk

    Boot up from Ubuntu LiveCD and post the output of sudo fdisk -l command here.
    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l
    * Its small L in fdisk -l.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    You have separate /boot partition. Correct command is
    Code:
    find /grub/stage1
    Boot up in Rescue Mode from Fedora 11 CD/DVD and execute this at shell prompt :
    Code:
    grub-install /dev/sda
    exit
    exit
    In case it doesn't work, execute this Ubuntu LiveCD Terminal
    Code:
    sudo grub
    find /grub/stage1
    root (hdx,y)
    setup (hd0)
    quit
    Replace x and y with output of find command.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
