Important Information

  • If you want to dual boot XP with Fedora, you will have to resize your XP partition (C:). IBM also creates their recovery partition at the end of the drive, you don't have to delete or resize this one.
  • When you resize your XP partition, make sure that the part of the drive you want to install on is free space. The Fedora installer automatically creates the partitions in the free space.
