I am tryin to create a dual boot between fedora core and windows xp.
I've done this before and everything went well, but that was using a
single IDE hard disk. Now im using a single SCSI hard disk, i
installed windows xp first and then installed fedora core, but when i
boot up, it jumps directly to boot windows xp, GRUB does not prompt
for which OS i would like to boot. The problem seems to be just linux,
because i removed both OS from the hd and started from scratch,
installing just linux, but it still wont boot. please help ASAP.

Did you try "grub-install --recheck /dev/sda" ?
