Installation issues

I don't know if it was this list, but these issues drew a reply of "RYFM" and "Check the archives." As far as I can determine, there isn't A manual, and I have no idea where in the archives to look, so I'm thrown back to asking basic installation questions.

I have a somewhat oldish system, a Dell Dimension with a 10GB hard drive installed, and no internal expansion capabilities. I added a 40GB USB drive. The main disk is broken into unequal partitions. E: is for data only, C: has the OS (Win2K) and essential software. To start Fedora, I partitioned the C: drive for about 200MB dedicated to /boot, just as I had done with earlier flavors of Redhat up to 8.0. The USB drive I set up through Partition Magic as "unformatted." Upon booting Fedora from the CD, the USB drive was not recognized.

I picked up that I have to mount the drive. But how can I mount a drive when there's no system from which to mount it? I KNOW this is an idiot question, but there is nothing I can find in the online documentation that tells me anything even close to the situation in which I find myself.

Any help will of course be appreciated.
