I'm net to Fedora/Linux so someone else may be able to provide more info. I just finished installing FC3/XP dual boot. FC3 does not handle NTFS out of the box. I have been told support is in the source but disabled so editing the source and rebuilding could get you FC3/NTFS support but that's more that I wanted to pursue... I have 3 disks in my box. One has the XP installation and is NTFS. The second is where I installed FC3. The third I just set up as a common disk as VFAT with the Fedura installation disk management (called disk druad I think) Joe V. --- Josh Davis <joshd522@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I have a dual booted FC2 and Win XP system right now.
