Sorry if this is a "repeat" (also having trouble with the newsgroups) I have
loaded the Fedora Core 2 ISO files from the Fedora-Redhat site, and have run
into the error message above. After "Operating System Not Found ". I have
verified that the bios is pointing to the hard drive, and that the boot
partition was indeed active. The repair ISO disk verifies that the data is
indeed on the hard drive.

I have a 15 gig Western Digital hard drive, in LBA format. It is running an
HP Pavillion 633 Khz with 192 megs of memory.

Any help / insights would be appreciated.

Some BIOSs have an option for preventing the MBR from being
overwritten by malware, and no they can't tell malware from a
different MBR.

Check your BIOS settings, or install grub to the active
partition.
