Yes thank you sushi, I believe this is what the bug was all about back in FC 3.0 ; it used to install grub into the MBR and distroy the partitions table no matter what you do; Red Hat used to detect the existing partitions and then Grub will boot you into Windows (DOS) or RHEL. I wanted to see if someone has tried it but looks like I have to take the risk. Thank you for your cooperation.
