IBM RESTORE DISK

[Pratyush]

my pc model is IBM NET VISTA 2259-C7A with windows xp pre installed and Ibm restore disk which is accesible by pressing F11 to restore xp if it crashes. Recently I install fedora core 1 with grub boot manager. Now my problem is that I cannot acess the Ibm restore disk by pressing F11 during the initial start up. Now how should I access this disk. Help me.

The grub overwrote your Boot manager and now you can't see this boot option.
You could also delete this restore disk during installation.
Check that you still have this partition .
while you 're inside fedora -run
fdisk /l /dev/hda
this will print all the partitions on IDE disk-and you'll be able to see if IBM restore disk partition still exists.
