I've been googling around... and see all sorts of instructions on this, but what I want to do is optimize this install for a fresh install of BOTH fedora core 2 and WinXP. So, I don't care about dataloss, I just want a clean, fairly easy install of both OS's. I just tried one set of instructions and it complained about partition geography then when all was said and done it was toast. I'm installing FC2 right now on its own just to see that it takes on its own, I know XP will. I know, I know, windows sucks, but I need some windows stuff because the rest of the world won't switch with me. Please just aim me to a proper set of instructions : ) thanks, paul
