I found in most of the recomendations that if you want to have a dual system you have to install first windows, but my questions is how to install windows and partition the hd after Fedora 2, without re-installing both systems.

I can't see any special problems with this. Many people have ahd 
problems where windows xp needs repairs after an fc2/fc3 install anyway. 
Remember that windows must be installed on the first partition (before 
the 1024th KB or something like that), so you'll probably have to move 
your fc2 installation.

I can't see any reason why you couldn'tjust install windows, which will 
probably intefere with grub, and then just run fc2 cd1 rescue disk to 
repair grub.

I've got both running and have a  great time. OpenOffice does my docs, 
firfox shares bookmarks across both os's and thunderbird (most of the 
time) seems happy sharing mailboxes across platforms. It's great!

See what others say.
