WindowsXP - FC5 dual boot

Hello

I tried to install Windows XP and FC5 on my Dell machine
with 2 HDD. In
the first one (13GB) I installed WinXP and then created 2
partitions in
my second HDD but left some 23GB free space. After that I
installed FC5
on the second HDD (chose to use free space to install FC5).
But I don't
see GRUB menu when I booted after successful installation of
FC5. It
automatically boots WinXP (my default choice was FC5). What
did I miss
here? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Eric

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I still have questions.
Since my
first HDD is only 13GB, I want to install only WinXP in it.
Should I
leave some free space in it for /boot and / partitions in
this HDD and
install WinXP in rest of the free space? I also need to have
couple of
partitions in the second HDD to install windows based
applictions and
Data.

thanks a lot again.

Hi Eric
