Has anyone tested whether Fedora Core 5 and Windows XP can be on the
same disk? I know you can't do it with FC4.
Thanks,

Weird, I have one machine that has dual XP and FC4 and one with FC5 and
Windose 2000. I only run windose for playing UT!! LOL
I agree with that one: same reason, at work the hp compaq nx9000 has to
run windows, at home it never does!
This has been the same for FC3/4/5, and on a Toshiba for FC1/FC2.
You could use a ghost like program to backup the complete disk. Then
repartition./re-install windows, then install FC5. My 30G disk is
configured:
hda1 fat32 /home/c 15G
hda2 ntfs winxp install 5G (probably a bit small!)
hda3 ext3 /boot 50M
hda5 ext3 / 5G
hda6 swap 1M
hda7 ext3 /home 5G
Works a treat, the install for FC5 went well, no problems (remember to
custom select the partitions - you don't want to wipe out your XP
install if you need it for something else).
