I just set up a dual boot Windows XP / Fedora 8 system.
I downloaded Fedora Core 8 i386 from the website. When installing,
I modified the partition table to have a /home and a /share, but
that's the only changes I thought I made.
Everything seems to work fine now, except when I go to the menu
that allows me to select what to boot into, I was expecting to
find only XP (which was Other, until I changed it in grub) and
one Fedora option; I instead have two Fedora options, listed
as:
Fedora 2.6.24.4-64.fc8
Fedora 2.6.23.1-43.fc8
Why?
As an additional note
you should be careful manipulating one OS files from the other OS it
can lead to problems. If I were you I wouldn't let Windows see or
manipulate the Linux partition.

I completely agree with Max. Using one OS to edit another OS's files is
a bad idea all around if one of the OS's is Windows. Linux to linux is
fine, heck, Unix to Linux is probably okay, but the rule of thumb for me
(YMMV) is like for like.
