Adding an additional hard drive is often not possible for people that use Dual Boot laptops, something that occurs where I work very often.
At this point I cannot recommend FC2, they need to re-spin with a fix for this. No Linux up to this point has had this issue, neither should FC2.

No Linux up to this point has had this issue, neither should FC2.Actually, Mandrake and SuSE both had this same issue before Fedora 2. The bug, if you want to call it a bug, is with linux 2.6 in general, not with any distribution in particular.

Just a data point: I added FC2 to a Dell C400 laptop that already hadWindows 2000 last night. Resized the NTFS partition using tools from the
SystemRescueCD disk and installed FC2 in a dual-boot setup. Windows still
boots as well as it ever did, if you can call that a good outcome. :-)
The bug apparently does not always bite.

I also have w2k on a compaq laptop and it boot correctly after the Fedora Core 2 installation. But if use a tool like PartitionMagic __after__ the installation, it immediately says that the geometry is a mess and I got problems trying to resize partitions.Cheers!
