Hi Friends,
First of all let me tell you all that I am not a fan of either linux or Windows and I don't want this discussion to proceed towards Linux Vs Windows arguements. I am posting this thread for the knowledge of First timers and I would like Team Digit to highlight this subject.
Recently one of my friends purchased RED HAT FEDORA LINUX 2 BIBLE Published by Wiley Eastern Ltd.

He installed Linux and everything worked fine for him until he found that he was unable to boot into Windows. He had dual boot of Windows ME and WIndows XP
All his data was fine and Intact. So he made a backup of his data and tried to reformat the hard disk. But something untoward happened and he was unable even to boot into Linux or Windows. Now he had a dead PC.
Myself along with another friend tried to do a google search and we have found some interesting results. I would like you all go through the following links before you start installing Linux....

Thanks and regards
