Description
This test verifies that installing Fedora onto a machine with a pre-existing Windows installation will result in a functioning dual-boot system.
Windows XP is the primary target, but Windows Vista and Windows 2000 should also be tested.
Steps To Reproduce
- Start with a system with a typical, functioning Windows installation
- Partition layout: primary disk has one partition, NTFS formatted.
- If possible, just use a factory restore disk or similar
- NOTE: The Windows XP installer may crash if you have Linux installed; you may need to wipe the disk first.
- Boot the Fedora installer by whatever means are convenient (Install DVD is nice and easy)
- Advance to partitioning screen
- Choose "Resize existing partition and create default layout in free space"
- Enter a target size (for the Windows partition) that leaves at least 10GB for Fedora (recommended size)
- Enable "Review and modify partition layout" checkbox
- Click "Next" and review partition details
- Advance to bootloader configuration screen and rename "Other" to "Windows" (if needed)
- Complete the installation with whatever package set you like
- Reboot system after installation and choose "Windows" from the GRUB menu
- After Windows boots successfully, reboot and choose Fedora from the GRUB menu
Expected Results
- Fedora installer should boot normally.
- Partitioning screen should offer "Resize existing partition and create default layout in free space"
- Choosing that option should pop up a box asking which partition to resize and the target size
- Partition details should show a typical Fedora partition layout and an NTFS partition both on the drive
- Bootloader configuration screen should have entries for both Fedora and "Other"
- Fedora installation should complete normally
- When rebooting into Windows, the system should run a disk check, which should complete without errors
- It may want to reboot again after this. Who knows? Windows looooves rebooting.
- When rebooting back into Fedora, the system should boot normally.
