After running PartionMagic 8 on my Windows 2000 Professional (Dell Latitude D600), successfully installing Fedora Core 3 on the new partition, successfully updating Linux, rebooting, I'm prompted for which OS & go back to choosing Windows.
When the Windows login screen appears(ctl-alt-del), my password is accepted but after a few minutes of blank-blue screen, the machine goes right back to Windows login again. I say my password was accepted b/c if I try an incorrect password, it will not authenticate/accept it. I've tried booting Windows in Safe Mode, Last Known Good Config, Directory Services Restore Mode, and Debugging Mode but the Loop continues. Just curious if anyone's seen this before I attempt having to reload Win2K. I appreciate any feedback I can get...Thanks.
