Hi all,

I would like to find out how I can dual boot xp pro with linux fedora. Is
there any guide that you can recommend?

I also would like to find out how I can troubleshoot after installing W2K as
dual boot with XP. I installed XP first then W2K I can boot into W2K but not
XP. I should have followed installation other way around. I know boot.ini
file changed by W2K but don't know how to correct it.

regards,

You will first have to get XP and Win2K straightened out. You can
use the W2K or WinXP Recovery Console to repair the Boot.ini file. For more
info check here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314058 You will
primarly be interested in the Bootcfg command.

Once that's fixed start the Fedora Install. Fedora has grub
bootloader which will automatically include the XP bootloader and will give
you a choice at startup.
