  1. I'm new to linux first off, and I have a Dell inspiron 5150 P4 2.8ghz w/512 mb RAM. Anyway, I had XP Pro installed and I decided that I wanted to try out Fedora Core 3, so i d/l the iso and burnt it correctly, I installed everything and no probs to speak of, however I couldn't get back to xp from grub boot loader, when it started windows it said "autochk file missing". So I reformatted my hd and installed just linux, no probs. Mow after a little research I think I know how to get the dual boot working, but when I rebooted from xp Pro cd it says please check your systems hardware configuration and then the screen goes blank! ( I caught something while linux was loading that said something.... "0.4% uncontigious". Now I can't get boot from XP cd, what can I do????

    Fedora Core 3 and XP Dual Boot Problems

    Sounds Great man and Thank You, Can you tell me if there is an easy way to reformat to ntfs? I'm not sure how to go about it from linux, I have partition magic for windows but I can't get to it at the moment (hence the aforementioned problem). Can anaconda do it for me? Thanks in advance ! :-)
