I performed a similar procedure on a different machine,
a Gigabyte GA-P%%A-UD3 with Intel I5 CPU. First installed XP,
then 32 bit FC16, then the beta RC1. On this machine, XP
still boots and runs after installing Fedora 18.
I did another experiment on the Elitegroup machine.
I reinstalled XP into a 2GB partition. XP booted and ran. I then installed
Fedora 16 and rebooted back to XP, which was still alive and well.
I rebooted to F16 and copied the XP partition to a disk file.
I installed F18 from today's rsync. For some reason I was unable to
sudo or log in to root. I rebooted to F16 and made another copy of
the XP partition. That copy was identical to the previous copy.
I rebooted to XP and got the same old BSOD as reported before.
I then rebooted to F16, removed the F18 partitions, and restored the
XP partition from the disk file. I also reinstalled the F16 bootloader.
I was able to boot and run XP again.
It appears XP doesn't like to see a F18 setup, much as an older Fedora
could not tolerate a freebsd partition's existience.
