Linux use to use a MBR program called LILO for booting into whatever OS you had loaded on your computer. It was real easy to use and write script to.
Then for some unknown reason, Linux distributions started using Grub. I had trouble with it starting on day one. It wrote over LILO and I couldn't get to my other OS to boot. I even talked to a guy who was some how involved in the testing of Grub and he couldn't figure it out.
The other day I loaded Fedora on one of my laptops and sure enough Grub didn't work. I searched the web and it was a common problem on the latest version of Fedora. I had to have the Fedora installation DVD in my laptop for it to boot to Fedora. I didn't even bother to try fixes that were listed.
Now I see Super Grub2 is out to fix Grub problems. I'm going to try on Fedora to see if it works. If Grub worked properly this Grub2 wouldn't be necessary.
