Would Fedora 7 differ then FC6 in this scenario? #4 is the option you want. Actually, just insert the vista CD, boot with it. And then during format options, you can remove the partitions on there, and then recreate the partition you want vista on (you will need to figure out how much space to give to vista and linux). You won't need to allocate space for Fedora, you can set those partitions when you install Fedora. Then just install Vista, once that is completed, you can then boot up the Fedora install CD and there you go. You can also just install grub/boot loader to the MBR (default I think) in that scenario. I don't know if you'll need a seperate /boot partition or not, but other than that you should be OK with the rest. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY
