I just set up a Toshiba laptop that runs Vista and Fedora 8, with a partition for Windows, a partition for Fedora, and a shared data partition that is formatted NTFS. I installed Windows first, then ran the full Fedora install DVD, and grub picked up both OSs without any problems. Made a change to the grub config file so that I have more than 3 seconds to choose which to boot and changed the "OTHER" to "Windows", and it works. Now to get the wireless working in Fedora, but that's an epic for another time. amy On Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 9:11 AM, Mikkel L.
