Re: Dual boot Fedora <--> Windows 8

Makes sense (unfortunately :-/ ). I will be prepared, thks ;-)

Another (offtopic) question: anyone knows if Windows 8 can be installed so far on the disk? (XP for example can't handle large disks) I would really hate to have to repartition because of Windows... I will only use it eventually for gaming.

Regards,

Andre

Windows installations have always messed with bootloaders to set things
up for itself, and nothing else.  So I wouldn't expect any newer
versions of Windows to be any different.  Be prepared to redo your
bootloader, for dual-booting, post Windows installation.

The only time I've seen Windows installations acknowledge prior installs
and give you a boot choice has been when installing some versions of
Windows with a another version of Windows.  Microsoft only cares about
Microsoft.
