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.

Can the same be done with xp? If dual boot is used can we choose to boot to linux first without overwriting the MBR. Thanks Roger
