Fedora bug prevents Windows from bootingBy Online Staff
May 31, 2004
A bug in the recent release of the Fedora Linux distribution causes the geometry of a hard disk, as reported in the partition table, to be altered during installation, according to a message posted to the Fedora developers mailing list.
In the event that the machine in question was a dual-boot, with Windows, the change may cause Windows boot failure, the posting.
The problem was noticed in Fedora Core 2, the second release of the distribution.
Fedora is "a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open source project" which Red Hat announced last November when it announced that it was ending the Red Hat Linux product line.
"Although this bug is severe, it is recoverable and no data should be lost," the post said
The posting outlined methods whereby users who are technically adpet could recover from the problem.
