hi all iv got a problem I have a pc that was running win vista I formatted the partition with vista on it and install fedora 10 on it.the problem I'm getting now is that when it boot it doesn't boot directly to fedora it count down and say press any key if you don't it will come an error saying mtbr something miss error press ctrl,alt,del to restart for you to be able to get fedora you have to press any key during the count down the select fedora and press enter.the there's another option that's call others.just to note that the other partition doesn't have any os on it.how can i resolve this problem is the a script i can edit in fedora to do that?and i don't think there's anything in bios that can change that.it sim's it still seeing the window on the system even when i formatted the hd.

Was this once set up as a dual boot and all you did was to format the partition with one of the OS's on it?

Was your intention to put the Fedora into the second partition but you ended up with two OS in one partition? I'm guessing that might be a problem.

The count down you describe sounds like the GRUB bootloader in Linux.
