Newbie Questions....

[Charles Malespin]

Hi, so I just bought a dell computer with XP installed on it already.  I also bought a Fedora 2 reference book that had a DVD with FC2 etc so that I can run a dual boot.   I just found out about the problem that comes up when you try and run Fedora and XP together, but I cant get a straight easy way to fix this problem.  I tried to burn the FC2 rescue CD and boot from that, but it just tells me "missing OS" and doesnt do anything from there.  I have also seen that if you just go ahead and boot and load FC2 that after you can run something like 
     # sfdisk -d /dev/hda | sfdisk --no-reread --force -H255 /dev/hda
   and then it will work again.  Any help would be useful, I am JUST starting with linux so the easier the better
Thanks, 
CAM
