Testing needed for dual boot systems

[Robert L Cochran]

I like to swap hard drives in and out of my laptop and currently, my 
Fedora 10 installation dual boots with Windows XP Professional without 
any problems on one of the drives. A second hard drive has Fedora 11 on 
it, but no dual booting. If at some point I elect to replace the Fedora 
10 on the other drive with Fedora 11, I don't expect any problems so as 
long as Anaconda doesn't merrily format my NTFS partition.

I'm actually more interested in running Windows XP as a virtual machine 
in Fedora 11.
