    Question Fedora dual boot with Win7 on laptop

    I had experience with earlier Red Hat Linux dual boot with Windows 98 and XP. I now have Fedora 9 and also a Compaq Presario CQ61 with Windows 7 Home edition. I have made it so that my Laptop now boots from its CD/DVD drive instead of the hard drive which it was. Only so far when I run Fedora's 9 Desktop Live CD everything seems OK until I get to a non graphics window for logging in and there I am stuck. Can someone put some light on what is happening and how I am going to log in and go into Linux Fedora's windows view.

    Welcome to the forums nicolashelley!

    You might want to consider getting a more recent version of Fedora since support for version 9 has long been stopped.

    Just a suggestion

    Hello and welcome to the forums!

    I agree with nujinini that you should try a later version of Fedora since version 9 came out 3 years ago. A newer release should give you better hardware support and might get you around this issue.

    Do post back if you continue to have problems with it.

    hi, since u r using a live CD, may it not contains any rich graphics work. First install in the Hard disk on u r computer and that may work. Another u can use is the latest version of fedora i.e., fedora 13. It is just more that good. Try to install DVD version of the fedora.
