Gparted is an excellent tool. You can get it from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/, and create a bootable CD/USB. Gparted may also be on the Fedora Live CD, but I'm not sure. Also note that Anaconda (Fedora installer) should tell you what drive Windows is installed on. You should be able to easily dual boot Windows and Fedora once Fedora is installed on the second drive. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@xxxxxxx> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
