[ILUG] Problems installing Win XP Pro after FE3

[ILUG] Problems installing Win XP Pro after FE3

Beware that if you do go and install Windows first, then install Fedora 
Core 3, it is possible that you won't be able to boot Windows again 
without changing a setting in your BIOS. When I installed FC3 after 
Windows a few months ago, it happened to me.
Fortunately I had another PC on hand to google for a solution. In my 
case, I had to change the access mode for my primary hard disk to "LBA" 
from its default setting of "Auto". Once that was done, everything 
worked fine again.

Had me worried for a few minutes that I had somehow destroyed my Windows 
partition.

Stephen.
