You can then chainload to the windows partition from the grub > boot menu. I did the opposite: on a Dell I got with windows 7 preinstalled. I installed fedora 15 from the DVD and used the installer disk formatter to shrink the NTFS partition and make room for fedora, then I told fedora to install grub in the partition with fedora, not the MBR. Then I fiddled the windows boot loader to be able to "chainload" fedora (I found some little shareware program on the net to simplify editing the windows boot info, I forget the name :-). I figured with all the frighteningly undocumented Dell recovery partition nonsense I didn't want to screw with the MBR or windows loader any more than I had to. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
