If you mean the "Windows[tm] dual-boot problem", then no, it arose with
kernel 2.6 and was no issue with FC1.
***WinXP Dual boot problems***
So you've installed Fedora Core 2 and now you can't boot into Windows

And: http://www.fedorafaq.org/#nodualboot
I guess you mean that with "nightmare". Many struggled, many solved
their problem following the instructions. It would be more useful if you
