At the Live CD boot menu select "Boot from image". Once Fedora has loaded you will be presented with the Fedora log in screen. If you take no action, Fedora will log you in as the ''fedora'' user after 60 seconds. If you prefer not to wait, enter ''fedora'' into the name field and press enter.

It is highly likely that the current Windows installation is using the entire disk. The next step in the Windows/Fedora dual boot installation process, therefore, is to make some space for the Fedora installation. Fortunately, the creators of the Fedora Live CD foresaw this need, and included a powerful disk partitioning tool called ''GParted'' in the live system. To launch ''GParted'' click on the ''Applications'' desktop menu and from the ''System Tools'' sub-menu, select ''GParted''. Once running, the ''GParted'' main screem will appear displaying a graphical representation of the disk partition layout: [[Image:fedora_linux_gparted_main.jpg]]
