Im farily new to linux and have just installed fedora to my machine.
I wanted to use the nt boot loader instead of grub, so installed it to the /boot partition instead of the mbr.
The problem is FC2 doesn't allow you to create a boot disk, and as such i cannot boot my linux partition.
I've been told that its possible to mount existing linux partitions in knoppix, then I can use dd to extract the boot sector to be able to add it to my nt bootloader.
I understand how to extract the boot sector, but not how to mount and use my existing partitions.
Can any1 help me with this.
