Hi Ranjan
regarding question 1) I got a PC (Desktop) with fully installed Windoze 7 as well. I then told the Fedora Installer to shrink the Windoze partition. Then I installed Fedora (without dual boot). And on Linux I installed VirtualBox and I made Windoze 7 to operate in VirtualBox.
This way, I don't need to reboot, but can start Windoze like a Fedora application.

​With one (HUGE) caveat:
Running the windows partition under VB causes windows to detect that
it is running on a totally different machine than it was installed on
and registered with MS.​
 ​

Later when I tried to boot into the windows native partition (Dual Boot),
it froze!!!!
I had to call MS and tell them about the problem and they issued me a new
key - and that allowed me to boot windows natively.
