Recently i've been through the same phase of multibooting belenix with other linux distros, please try doing as mentioned before by moinak first. In the worst case you can use chainloader to startup belenix or for that matter any other OS you may have.(provided you already have GRUB). method: 1.If you have fedora 7 you already have grub. edit /boot/grub/menu.lst ( the path may vary in your distro) and (assuming belenix is installed in (hd0,1) partition) add the following lines, title : belenix root (hd0,1) chainloader +1 2.Incase while installing belenix you have overwritten the Fedora gub. then perform step 1 with root (?) where ? indicates your partition where fedora is installed.
