Dual Boot Vista

[demoka]

Shrinking the Vista partition and format the rest of the HD as ext4 and install Fedora into that

partition and put the GRUB in MBR, is this the right way to dual-boot fedora with Vista?

Hello demoka,

For now, GRUB needs a separate ext3 boot partition when you use ext4 for the Fedora root partition. And after you shrink the Vista partition, I recommend that you leave the newly created unpartitioned space for Anaconda (the Fedora installer) to create its own partitions for Fedora. It's perfectly capable of doing that (better, really). Other than that, you have the right idea. GRUB is well-known to be able to boot Vista.

Thank you ,so no ext4 formatting just leave Anaconda to do the job?

Yeah, that's my opinion. The disk druid (kind of a partition manager) in Anaconda can create Fedora's partitions.
