Fwd: Converting Fedora 19 machine to dual-boot with pre-installed Windows 7

     Hello,

  I have a Lenovo T430 that had Windows 7 Pro pre-installed, but I wiped
out Windows and installed Fedora 19 instead (actually, I first installed
Ubuntu and then Fedora).

  Now I want to turn it into a dual-boot machine with Fedora and Windows
based on the license for the pre-installed Windows.

  I see on the web some recommendations to first install Windows, and some
say you can install first Linux and then Windows, but it may not work for
(some?) pre-installed versions.

  So, now I'm wondering whether I should first wipe out Fedora and then put
first Windows and second Fedora, or whether I should try to keep Fedora and
add Windows next to it?

  My file systems currently look like this:

  Thanks!

     Best,
