Hi,

I use dual boot since I remember, mainly with Fedora, but also with RH and
other Linux distros and I never had any problem with it. You need to
understand fist the partitioning before you start any modifications. Yes,
Linux installer will recognize Windows partitions. Basically, if you would
have Windows installed on one partition (primary) only and left the rest of
disk space free and not partitioned, Linux installer will do the rest for
you.
