Fedora corrupting XP?

Hi,

I've juts installed the Fedora Core 1 on my new laptop (Dell Inspiron 8500).

Now I can't enter windows xp! Just before the login screen, I get a blue screen and the computer reboots... Fedora is working, but i need XP.

I've changed the partitions like that:
hda1: 3 Gb ntfs for XP
hda2: 100 Mb ext3 for boot
hda3: 700 Mb swap
hda4: 5 Gb ext3 for linux installation
hda5: 20 Gb ntfs for Windows proograms
hda6: 20 Gb ntfs for data

I've used Partition Expert 2003 under XP for partitioning. Before installing Fedora, the partitions were working, i could use xp and reboot normally.

What could do this? I have Alcohol 120% (1.4.7.1005 i think) installed on xp, maybe the virtual drive can give a blue screen?

I can boot in safe mode though, everything isnt lost, yet...

Thanks again for your help.

Big
