Don't create any partitions with Partition > Magic, let the Fedora installer take care of that. When I received my latest brand new laptop w/ XP (SP1) installed on it, I went in XP, used partition magic to downsize the XP partition, then booted from FC3 CD to create a new ext3 partition that uses the just-free'd room, then installed FC3 w/o problem. Grub config was properly set by the FC3 installer and XP appears (and boots) from grub menu :-). Regards. -- wwp
