Hi all, I'm planning to install FC2 on a second partition on my Dell
Inspiron8200 (the first partition holds my WinXP os) - and from what I
understand, this is doable. The question I have is (and I'm sorry for
double posting if this has already been covered here before) - but, aside
from setting up a fat32 partition on my hard drive (NTFS) and using vfat, is
there anyway to access the partition from FC2?

Also, before I get started, has anyone had any personal experience doing
this?

Thanks in advance
