Windows is reporting no HD because it does not understand the EXT2 or EXT3
file system. What you need to do is down load a live distro or the cd
version
of Gparted, boot up with it and make some space on the hard drive. If you
really want m$ xp and Fedora then install xp first then install Fedora. By
the way FC3 is a bit out of date why not FC 6 or F7?. Before you do any of
that make a note of the hard ware manufacturers, network chips, blue tooth
and web cam chips.
