The way I did it (very unsophisticated!) was to make a partition using half of the (only) hard drive and install Vista on that and then install Fedora into the remaining free space. The default options gave me a small /boot partition and all the rest for a lvm setup. It just worked! With two hard drives, I think you may have to put /boot on the first but Fedora can go on the second. -- James Bridge <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
