Yea, this is bad news for dual booters like me. The Bugzilla Bug 115980: will not boot to windows partition using grub menu that this post refers to is pretty lengthy. The first entry is on 17-Feb-2004 and it is still open. Evidently the new kernel used in Fedora Core 2 does not read the disk geometry correctly and as a result something(parted?) in the installation process corrupts the partition table. I was planning on upgrading to Core 2 but I will wait until they figure this one out.
