I have a 80GB HDD with 4 partition ...so in which drive ..should I install it....??

You can install it on any partition except the one that holds Windows (ROOT).

Be careful to backup your data before you format it over to Linux.

Preferably format your LAST partition to avoid confusion etc.

Install XP first and then fedora core.

Umm... thats it.Happy linuxing.

Thats strange. I use the same motherboard and i was able to boot Fedora 7 DVD i got from some other magazine.
Again look at the priority section in your BIOS carefully.
