creating a bootable WinXP USB in Fedora 10

[manuleka]

i'm wanting to install Windows XP on my Fedora 10 PC so they run in dual boot mode... the reason i want to use USB is because:

1. I have a 4GB USB Stick
2. I have an ISO slipstreamed with SP3 and other necessary softwares (Avast/7zip/Winamp etc...) [hate the update downloads)

Now my main concern is: I know windows will alter the mbr so i'm wondering if its difficult to reset the mbr to be handled by Fedora bootloader?

Or what are the risks on installing Windows XP into a Drive with Fedora already in it... i have unused space on the drive which windows will slot into

I'm not sure about installing WinXP to USB. But after installation, if you should happen to run into any issues with GRUB, you can easily boot up with the Fedora installation disk to re-install GRUB.
Here is a link to point you in the right direction:
Installing GRUB natively - GNU GRUB Manual 0.97

Post back if you have any issues.
