→Beginning the Dual Boot Installation Process
Place the Fedora Live CD into the CD drive of your Windows system and reboot. If the system loads Windows again you will need to change the boot order in your system BIOS. To do this reboot again. Early in the boot process the BIOS will display a message indicating which key should be pressed to enter Setup. Press the key indicated so that the BIOS Setup menu appears. Navigate the menu system until you find the setting which indicates the boot order used by the BIOS. Change the order so that the drive containing the Fedora Linux Live CDROM is listed before the hard disk drive, then exit and save the settings. Reboot once more and you should find that Fedora loads from the CDROM.
Once Fedora has loaded you will be presented with the Fedora login screen with the option to perform an automatic login pre-selected. If you take no action, Fedora will log you in as the ''fedora'' user after 60 seconds. If you prefer not to wait, click on the ''Login'' button to initiate the login sequence. Either way, Fedora will present you with the desktop screen similar to the one illustrated in the following figure:
