|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.
|actions=
# 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
|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.
