Has anyone successfully installed Fedora 18, 19 or 20 in dual boot with Windows 8/8.1 ?
How does the installation process differ from setting up a Fedora/Windows 7 or XP dual boot ?
Are there pitfalls one should know about ?


I have install F19 on a system with Windows 8/8.1 installed.  The install process created the grub menu entry, however, I cannot boot Windows 8.1 from the grub menu.  I get the following:

/EndEntire
file path: /ACPI(...)/PCI(2,1f)/UnknownMessaging(12)/HD(1,800,...)/File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\)/File(bootmgfw.efi)/Endntire

error: cannot load image
error: you need to load kernel first

Press any key to continue ...

The "Press any key to continue" message must be a joke, because a few seconds after I get these messages the system reboots.  I had to try to boot Windows several times to get enough of the first message.  The "..." in the file path message indicates that there is stuff there but I couldn't get it written down do to the system rebooting after about 10 seconds.

The only way I can boot to Windows is to keep hitting F12 until I get the boot order menu, and select Windows from there.
