Mint install overwrite Fedora

Hi All,

I had a dual boot system with WinXP and Fedora 10 before I installed Linux Mint 6. Yesterday, I downloaded and installed Linux Mint 6 in the system on a free partition. The installation went well and succesfully. However, there is one and big problem to me: it now shows Linux mint 6 and Winxp, the Fedora is no longer shown in the initial grub screen.

I am pretty sure the Fedora is still there, since I use Gparted to check and find it. How can I get Fedora 10 back? Is it possible to create a triple boot system with Linux mint, winxp and Fedora?

Thanks in Advance.

Check your /boot/grub/menu.lst file . I had problems in the past with some Mint installs that did not adequately pickup all of my other Lx ops on the hard drive.
