info on installing, rather confused

[anthony crage]

I was a bit more confident when approaching the idea of installing fedora, 
but after reading about... I'm a bit more unsure of my talent in relation to 
being able to do this. So I'm trying to build a better understanding.

Anyway, I'm a bit above average as far as computer users go (I make well 
formatted XHTML 1.0 strict, use CSS to format, have set up a couple 
DAW/HDR's and can generally work my way out of most problems).. But not that 
much when it comes to anything like this. I've been wanting to move to Linux 
for a while, but lack of HDD space and heavily authoritarian parents have 
kept me from it. We recently had our whole HDD reformatted by an idiot tech 
who didn't listen to a word I said. The silver lining is that I now can 
install Linux.

After the tech reformatted the HDD, he split our 45 gig HDD into 2 
partitions: a 30 gig and a 15. So, it registers as this in windows:
A:\ floppy
C:\ 30 gig partition
D:\ a second 6 gig HDD
E:\ 15 gig partition
F:\ cd-rw
G:\ cd-rom

What I'd like to do is throw fedora onto the 15 gig and have it coexist (as 
in, not harm) the windows 98 that is currently running on the C:\ drive (we 
havn't upgraded to XP due to a lack of funds). Not knowing as much dealing 
with hardware as I should, I'm utterly confused what I am supposed to do. 
Several bits about the BIOS only being able to see so much of the HDD and 
such just left me confused and unconfident. So in other words, how do I go 
about this? Will I have any issues with how the HDD is split up? Is there 
anything I should worry about and watch out for? Anything I should learn 
beforehand?

Thanks for any help and I'm sorry for having to result to this. I know there 
was that whole document that probably answered most of my questions... But 
like I said, it just left me confused and unconfident.
