No longer multi-boot!

I have a 4-5 year old Dell/P4 that I use to check out new Linux OS's, and I usually keep three OS's in
it at a time. After updating the other two, I updated Fedora to 10. Now the other two are not available!
GParted and the Logical Volume Manager show them still there, but I can't figure out a way to use them.
I would like them available at boot, as before. Someone help me with this please. The before mentioned
LVM has a button at the bottom that reads " Initialize Entity", but i can't find any info on it. Thanks!!!!

Well, there's a good chance that Fedora's got a mount point for the other distros shown on the desktop. If so, you can simply go into each /boot/grub/menu.lst and copy off the key boot info and paste it into Fedora's /boot/grub/grub.conf

Or, you can use a configfile entry to boot each:

title Whatever
configfile (hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst
<adjust for the right drive/partition

Frankly, it's always best to copy off the existing menu.lst before doing a fresh install of any distro. RPM-based distros, such as Fedora, generally don't recognize any other linux installation automatically. Debian-based distros do an excellent job of it, btw.
