Can Fedora Linux be setup to dual boot with Vista as easy as XP, what
filesystem type does Vista use ??
I also have installed Fedora8 on a Vista Notebook, but one Big warning.
Unlike XP, which doesn't see the Linux patittions at all, the Vista saw the
partitions, and if you click on them in My Computer it will offer to format them
for you. The notebook was setup for a student that got it for Christmas, and
Vista Ran on it like a Dog, so we set it up with dual boot. That worked fine
except for the wireless card. Then here sister was using the machine in
windows, and for some reason, she clicked on the the Linux Partitions, and
formated them. Then the machine wouldn't bot anything, since Grub was
gone. Redid machine in Fedora8 only now.
I don't have any access to Vista, but wonder if there is a way to make Vista
not see the Linux partitions to prrevent this.
