Changing the Boot Loader in FC7

[paragkalra]

Hi Buddies,
I first installed Fedora core 7 on my Sata Hard Disk...and Then installed Windows Media Centre on same hard disk but on different partition...Unfortunately I can't boot into Fedora Core 7....Hence I want to Change the Boot Loader so that I can dual boot into either Windows Media Centre or Fedora Core 7.....Any idea of accomplishing this task......

install grub on ur first disk's MBR as "grub-install /dev/sdx".u can do it from fedora cd/dvd with linux rescue.

@praka123
I know this method and have successfully implemented it many times...But this time its not working...Actually map of My SATA hard-disk is as follows:
1.] I have ONE Primary partition on which Windows Media Centre is installed.
2.] Rest of the hard-disk comprises of Extended Partition in which there are many logical partitions and out of them One is for SWAP and over one Fedora Core 7 is installed (EXT3).
3.] Apart from these two partitions my SATA hard-disk has few NTFS and FAT32 partitions as well in the EXTENDED area.

When I use the method suggested by you, it shows know "No Linux Partition Found!" and asks to "Reboot".

If fedora is there it shud show up.use a live-cd(knoppix?) and mount ur fedora partition as read-write.then chroot and set grub manually to MBR.I hope u know how to chroot into mounted partition

install grub using live session. that is the safest way to restore grub.
