Newb needs some help dual booting

[robrom78]

Hi All,
Sorry if this is in the wrong place...I'm a newb. FC6 is my first crack at it, and I'm lovin' it but I need some help. Can anyone point me in the right direction of the info on dual booting FC6 & WinXP? Am I wrong in thinking that I can use Xen? I've tried using Xen, but it askes me for either an FTP or HTTP location... Thanks much in advance!

If you use Xen, the other operating system would be a Virtual Machine. Plus, to use Xen, you'd need physical virtualization to get Windows to run.

Dual Booting is when you have two physical operating systems installed on the hard drive.

When I say I'm using Xen, its more like I'm "using" Xen. I have no idea what I'm doing. I read some articles online, and they basically led me to believe that I could use Xen to dual boot. Or at least, I read into it what I wanted to. Eh.

Well, I had XP on my machine, but I don't believe I have it there anymore. When I attempted to install FC6 on my machine the first time, everything seemed to have loaded, but after the reboot, only XP loaded... <shrug>
