one more issue (or not) that i encountered..is that no windows partition is mounted at startup...and whwn i try to mount it from the console...i get the message...fat32 or ntfs...unknown file system...or something like that...is there a way to auto-mount the partitions at start-up?...thank you

have you upgraded the kernel to 2.6.16.-1 and then installed the latest official nVidia driver???

and to get ntfs mounted on FC you need to use packages from http://www.linux-ntfs.org/

I believe that ntfs read support is actually available with the kernel, though I dunno if it's an option that is turned on by default. The link provided by Amr_not_Amr, I think provides write support and other things like that.

To mount the partition would require editing your /etc/fstab . I don't have an ntfs partition but I do have a FAT32 and my extra line for that is:
/dev/sda4 /mnt/shared vfat defaults,gid=500,users,rw,umask=000 0 0

However, I'll leave it to your google skills to check out editing of fstab as your entry would probably have several differences.

EDIT: In fact here's a link saying that the ntfs driver was included in kernel 2.6.16 and what it's features are

but in FC the kernel doesn't support ntfs even for read only ... so you've either to usefrom linux-ntfs.org or you may recompile he kernel adding the support for ntfs :)
