Hi Ranjan regarding question 1) I got a PC (Desktop) with fully installed Windoze 7 as well. I then told the Fedora Installer to shrink the Windoze partition. Then I installed Fedora (without dual boot). And on Linux I installed VirtualBox and I made Windoze 7 to operate in VirtualBox. This way, I don't need to reboot, but can start Windoze like a Fedora application.

With one (HUGE) caveat: Running the windows partition under VB causes windows to detect that it is running on a totally different machine than it was installed on and registered with MS. Later when I tried to boot into the windows native partition (Dual Boot), it froze!!!! I had to call MS and tell them about the problem and they issued me a new key - and that allowed me to boot windows natively.
