Hi,
I have toshiba laptop which comes with XP Home. I would like to Install Fedora as a dual boot along with XP Home. I downloaded the software and converted the ISO file to a DVD. When I booted the DVD it started the preparation for Installation. When It came to partitioning, I was unable to proceed as both Automatic as well as Manual partitioning failed. Iam new to Linux Installation.
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anand

You need space on your disk to install linux. If your winXP partitions takes all disk you need to resize it to free some space (you can use partition magic to do this) or you can remove winXP partitions. Next with windows Cd you can create a parition in some space and install winXP and leave the rest free. with linux manual partitioning you can create the partition for linux and install it.

Fedora core 1 and i think later versions, come with FIPS for partition resizing.
