Question Fedora Install Help
Hi,

I have just bought a new Laptop HP Pavillion dv6646us which came with pre-loaded Vista which has stupidly occupied all 140 GB of hard disk with around 8 GB for System Recovery on another disk. Both disks are primary partitions

Now, I want to install Fedora in the primary partition and if possible then LVM, but I dont want to touch MBR of vista, i.e. I want Windows to boot Linux from it's boot menu. I can shrink main windows partition and get free space around 60 GB.

My question - Is it possible to install Latest fedora in partition that is left out which I think will be LVM of windows and yes, it shouldnt affect windows in any way. Or any other way to do this? Please guide me.

Thanks.
