Has anyone successfully installed Fedora 18, 19 or 20 in dual boot

How does the installation process differ from setting up a
Fedora/Windows 7 or XP dual boot ?
Are there pitfalls one should know about ?
I have install F19 on a system with Windows 8/8.1 installed. The
install process created the grub menu entry, however, I cannot boot
Windows 8.1 from the grub menu. I get the following:
/EndEntire
file path:
/ACPI(...)/PCI(2,1f)/UnknownMessaging(12)/HD(1,800,...)/File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\)/File(bootmgfw.efi)/Endntire
error: cannot load image
error: you need to load kernel first
Press any key to continue ...
The "Press any key to continue" message must be a joke, because a few
seconds after I get these messages the system reboots. I had to try to
boot Windows several times to get enough of the first message. The
"..." in the file path message indicates that there is stuff there but I
couldn't get it written down do to the system rebooting after about 10
seconds.
The only way I can boot to Windows is to keep hitting F12 until I get
the boot order menu, and select Windows from there.
