I have two disks. The plan was to give each OS its own disk. I installed windows 7. Then fedora 19. I copied the boot record from Linux, performed the BCDEDIT requirement to get Linux into the boot manager prompts.

However, when I try to boot Linux, the screen goes blank and nothing happens. Ideas?
