Hi Paul,
You can install F14, if there is enough disk place available for F14
(possibly after reducing the Win partition(s) size(s)). The F14
installer will install F14 in a new or free partition. Then the dual
boot will be possible by correspondent grub entries in
/boot/grub/grub.conf you likely must make after the first F14 boot (if
that has not been done by anaconda, the Fedora installer).
As example my /boot/grub/grub.conf:
title Fedora (2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE)
root (hd2,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE ro
root=LABEL=/F14 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8
SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=de-latin1-nodeadkeys rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE.img
title Windows 7
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
Don't forget to run grub-install for writing the grub loader on your
boot disk (if not already done by anaconda).
Kind regards
