    Question dualboot help- windows xp and fedora core 6

    Hi,
    I'm fairly new to linux (a few months). Im trying to dual boot windows xp on my computer already running fedora core 6. I have some experience with dual booting- i had a windows xp laptop, and now it runs both windows and ubuntu. Ive done some reasearch, but still not clear on how exactly I should go about dual booting xp on fedora. Please help me out.
    Thank You.

    PS: I forgot to mention above I do not have internet access on that computer. I do, however, have a laptop (windows xp) that i can download things on and burn on a disc if needed. it has internet. If you know of any solution to run programms such as visual studio and dreamweaver on linux which dosnt require dual booting(i tried wine but didnt work for me) please let me know. Thanks again.

    Hi and Welcome !

    Fedora Core 6 is an obsolete distro. You should consider its latest version, Fedora 12.

    If Linux has been installed before Windows OS, dual boot setup doesn't work in a few machines. One should install Windows OS first because it works fine only if you install Windows OS in first primary partition.
    Is it possible for you to remove Fedora Core 6 and install Windows OS first?

    Visual Studio is Microsoft product and you should Windows OS for it.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
