Hi,
I have Windows XP and FC5 installed on my machine, and use GRUB to boot.
GRUB configuration file sits on /boot/grub as recommended by the book I used
for installation. I now want to format my C drive where my Windows OS sits
and clean install XP. Could you please tell me about things I should watch
out for so that I don't screw up my Linux partition? Would a default install
suffice or should I make sure some options are set differently when I
install Windows?
Just trying to be careful. Thanks for your help.
