won't dual boot: 2 disks and LVM

[michael <cs@networkingnewsletter.org.uk>]

Whilst, it's a Fedora distro I've on the machine in question, I think
the same problem manifests itself with Debian, LVM and WinXP so hoping
somebody can help!

I'm looking for a solution for (re-)installing WinXP on my slave disk
when I have Fedora and LVM on the master disk. In the past I've opened
up the box and unplugged the Fedora/LVM disk in order for WinXP to
install okay. But this seems much too drastic. Even swapping disk order
(in BIOS) doesn't help - WinXP installation sits there "forever" when
checking current config.

Whilst I cannot find any definite reference stating "MS WinXP cannot
handle LVM" it does seem to be the culprit. 

Anybody got any such definitive references or other help?

Thanks, Michael
