Greetings:
Back in FC16, I had a problems doing a dual boot with Win XP...
I am now at a point where I need to install Win XP with the dual boot of FC17, but are there still problems with the dual boot? My issue was that Fedora would not see my previous install of Win XP...
I hope that I am not being too cautious on my wording...
I am not looking for a fix or anything, but just if it is fixed or not and if anyone else has done it successfully...

How did you do it?

Why not? And where are the symptoms described? Any bugzilla ticket?
GRUB2 can still "chainload" other boot sectors, provided that you add such an entry appropriately.
Multibooting (F15, F16, Rawhide, Win7, Ubuntu) is working fine for me. Rawhide's grub2 in installed in the Rawhide partition, and it offers all of the above as options.
