I have a dual booted FC2 and Win XP system right now. I had to take the steps mentioned at http://lwn.net/Articles/86835/ to get around the hard disk geometry bug in the FC2 install. I just got a new drive and want to dual boot between FC3 and XP. I have two questions I would appreciate help with:

1) Does the hard disk geometry bug still exist in the FC3 install? If so, does following the same steps on the above web page still get around the problem?

2) Does FC3 recognize an NTFS partition, or do I need to make my windows partition FAT32? If I can use NTFS, are there extra steps, or does it just work?

Thanks,

Josh
