FC3: Dual boot Windows XP?


Hey,

I just wanna ask, I'm gonna dual boot FC3 and Windows XP. Will it alter my disk geometry like what FC2 did? I know there's a workaround for it, but i want no trouble of any sorts.

Thanks.

Maybe it's because you've already "fixed" the disk geometry previously while installing FC2?

No i didn't, I did format my hard drive, install Win XP then allocate free space with partition magic, install Fedora Core 3, and everything looks just fine cause when I had FC2 Partiton Magic has been giving errors and would not even start, now works just fine. And it was reported as if it was fixed so i really believe now its alright.
