I'm about to add an 80G sata second drive to a Dell 2.8G XP computer that I wish to boot to both Linux and Windows XP. I have the FC5 DVD from which I intend to do the install.

What do I need to know before I start? XP Home is already installed and I have no way to reinstall it, no o/s CD's are provided.
is there no i386 tree under c:\windows\ ?
I had to boot the Windows computer to answer you.

Yes I see a c:\i386 directory full of cryptic file names that don't mean
much to me?

6709 files taking up 896,693,633 bytes in 11 directories and
66,304,417,792 bytes free

What can I do with that?

PS:  We are having thunderstorms in the area and my satellite signal
is cut off by the rain.  I'll send this later ...

There will probably be choices for locating boot and grub, what is best to do there?

Any suggestions, reference material, etc. appreciated.
