It seems like this dual boot issue comes up a lot. I also am new to linux and did a FC3 install. I put it on a seperate hard drive in my computer. I did the install following the directions on screen. After everyting was done, I have no problems booting and running fedora (although I am very confused on installing and running programs, but I will learn). My problem is that I cannot boot into windows xp. When I do, it flashes to the window screen, then a blue screen, and then right back to booting. I have tried the sfdisk fix suggested elsewhere that allows the geometry to be read correctly, I have tried getting the hard drive to be viewed as LBA in the bios, but cannot get windows to boot. The disk appears to be fine as I mounted the NTFS drive and I can get all my files from the drive. Is there anyway from here, without reloading windows xp and wiping the drive that I can get this to boot. Also, how do I create a partition on the primary drive that, god willing, if a get the dual boot going, a can put files for both systems to read? Thanks.
