Hi,

I have installed fedora-15 on my laptop, as a dual OS, after installing fedora, my window 7 is not getting boot. It is asking for OS disk. WHile installing I gave the boot partition to be used by linux.

Do I want to use the same boot partition for both windows and links. I am confused. Its my office laptop and Windows 7 is Enterprise version. now it not working.

Please help

Hi svar,
just do one thing, format your drive and install windows 7 first. Then, make empty some space for Fedora (remember not in the drive it should unallocated otherwise fedora will not be able to recognize it). Then, install Fedora 15 into that particular free space.
