Setting up a dual boot

I'm a newbie to the Linux scene, blah blah blah...

Anyway, can someone direct me to some kind of guide or something that can help me set it up? I'm running XP right now and I'd like a dual boot with that and the Fedora Core 3.

Thanks.
 
I recently setup a XP Pro/Fedora Core 3 dual boot. I'm not sure if Fedora can repartition an existing NTFS drive though. Maybe someone else can answer that.

What I did was I wiped my existing HD clean and booted from the XP CD and created 2 partitions, 1 in NTFS and 1 blank. Then I installed XP on the NTFS partition. Next I booted from the FC3 Disc and installed it on the blank partition. Fedora modified the boot sector and I get a menu for XP or FC3 on bootup. This was pretty easy to do, but I'm not sure if you want to wipe clean your existing drive.
