Red Hat 7 Install problems

I have xp installed on c and I'm trying to install red hat 7 on a seperate hard drive e:. C is ntfs and e is fat32. The problem is that I want to set up a dual boot but when I run the linux setup I have to select custom installation because if I just select the workstation option then it will overwrite the mbr. I'm not sure because it comes up and lists the two disks c and e, but it asks me to select root and the size of file swapping and all this other stuff that I'm not sure about. I'm kind of lost as you can probably tell. What I ultimatley want is xp on c and red hat 7 on e with the option to boot to either one when I start up my pc. Thanks for any help.
 
Well delete e in the redhat setup (and remember /boot needs to be within the first 8GB), create /boot, /, /home, and swap and go from there. This all well documented if you bothered to read up on it at all. If you are not willing to RTFM a bit, dont bother to "try linux" 🙂
