[LUG] UEFI bios and Gforce 460 dueling

 

Hi all 

I need some guidance with install a new PC It has UEFI bios, Intel quad
core, 8 gig of RAM and a GFX 460 Nvidia graphics card. As usual I
offered to help to introduce linux to an avid Gamer.

I installed Win 7 ok 
then after a lot of mucking about with the Bios I got it to boot a live
CD ( UEFI installs a Windows BootLoader, so you have CD sata0 and
"windows bootloader" as boot choices, of course WBL was first).

Eventually I get a distro to run ( Fedora 17 64 bit ) but only on the
onboard Graphics (intel) but it does see the 8Gig of Ram. None have so
far seen the Win7 boot partition and now Fedora has deleted the EFI
entry in the Bios!

I can fix this with a win disk but...

What is the best way to approach this

and...
 Do I have any chance of running Linux on the GFX 460 (1Gig RAm)
Graphics.
