After a month of asking how to get dual boot working, on this list, another support list, in chat rooms, I have not had ONE SINGLE PERSON tell me that they installed FC18 and it found their other OS installs on that system, much less offered a hint how to get the other OS booted. I sadly conclude that Fedora has followed the Windows route and doesn't recognize other OS.
Tried with XP, or Win7, or BSD, or FC17, all having their own partition(s). None worked, none were recognized, pasting grub2 stanzas from previous working OS failed to boot completely.
Very sorry to see this.
For what it's worth I have F18 dual booting with Windows okay. I hadn't replied to your emails because it looks like you're trying to install alongside another linux (F17) and I'm not sure how to do that, particularly as the solution I did know (the one I think you were using, with separate boot partitions and the disc grub chainloading to each one) doesn't work anymore.
It still does work for me - It is exactly what I have.
So the installer worked for you and found your other OS versions and built entries for you? Never happened for me.
