Last night, we tried to install Linux Fedora Core 2 on our home PC. We got stuck a few times. Our machine already has two Windows OS running on two partitions. We didn't want the Linux bootloader because we want to use the Windows bootloader to choose the OS. Hence we skipped the option of installing grub. After the installation, we tried to copy the boot loader using the dd command. But the OS refused to boot the next time. Then we repeated the installation with the option of creating the boot loader. Even this attempt was not successful. Apparently, an extended partition cannot be made a primary partition. Any thoughts on this?
