For what it's worth I have F18 dual booting with Windows okay. I
hadn't replied to your emails because it looks like you're trying to
install alongside another linux (F17) and I'm not sure how to do that,
particularly as the solution I did know (the one I think you were
using, with separate boot partitions and the disc grub chainloading to
each one) doesn't work anymore.
