    Question fedora 8 xp sp2 dual boot.

    got a very nicely setup xp sp2 that i don't want to wreck along with the fact i haven't got the discs here with my lappy at present to reformat/reinstall everything...
    so.... i've got my nice xp sp2 install already on so if i install fedora will it partition my sata hdd correctly/give me options to do so along with installing grub/a dual boot menu for me to use to boot xp/fedora?

    i'm probably being paranoid but i haven't used fedora since core 4... that was yonk's ago but worked fine on a single hdd when i'd previously had xp installed first.
    so will it be fine?
    any hardware problems im going to encounter?

    dell inspiron 6400 / core duo 1.6ghz / 1gb ram / 80gb sata hdd / dvdrw (sata i think) / ati mobility x1300 / XyXEL G-202 WiFi stick... (really need that to work as I don't like the range on the built in intel one)

    so what do you guys reckon? dvd should be done by 11/midnight tonite so replies asap please haha.
    cheers

    Good riddance. Wish I'd done it about a year ago.

    the Ati card may cause you problems as ati drivers suck at the best of times for Linux. also fedora is mor likely to be able to use the intel card than the xyxel stick (of at least give it preference)
